LEGOLAND NY Hires Model Builder After Nationwide Search and Competition

A Lego enthusiast in New York just landed the ultimate dream job, “Lego Model Builder”.

The lucky guy whose name is Jack Mohan from Port Jervis, New York was crowned Model builder and will work at the LEGOLAND ^® New York Resort where he will assist in designing, building, and installing the more than 15,000 LEGO ^® models made from more than 30 million bricks at LEGOLAND New York.

“I’ve been building with LEGO bricks since I was three or four years old, and I can’t believe I get to do this for a living now,” said Mohan, the newest Model Builder at LEGOLAND New York. “If you were to ask me as a child what my dream job would be, it would be this, so I can’t wait to bring the same joy, creativity, and inspiration to LEGOLAND New York’s visitors and meet and learn from other Model Builders on the team.”

After a nationwide search and competition, Mohan was selected during a final Brick Factor Model Builder competition at LEGOLAND New York on August 14. Hundreds of guests were in attendance and even helped the competitors with inspiration on what to build. a

“The Brick Factor competition brought out the best in our Model Builder finalists, so the decision wasn’t easy. Their skills were put to the test with hands-on tasks showcasing their creativity and imagination,” said LEGOLAND New York Model Shop Manager Erick Spader. “Jack stood out for encapsulating both the skill and knowledge of a model-building professional and the spirit of play that we aim to deliver to our guests every day. He’ll be a great contributor to the new Model Builder Experience and the whole LEGOLAND New York team.”
