Diaz, originally from South Carolina, started working with shaved ice at the age of 13.
“I worked for one of my history teachers at school, he had a shaved ice truck just like (mine),” Diaz said. “He needed some help, and I was like, ‘I’ll give you a hand.’”
Diaz found a love for the trade early on, working in the shaved ice truck through high school and here and there in college.
After getting married and working in banking for a couple of years, Diaz and his wife Lisa found themselves Colorado residents.
