Last week during the Paintball Festival and Industry Conference, a Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Giovanni D'Egidio of Giant Paintball.  D'Egidio is one of the managing partners of Giant Paintball, which owns and operates five of the most successful paintball parks in the world, including the legendary SC Village Paintball Park and Hollywood Sports Park.

 

The award was presented by Bob Gurnsey, the founder of paintball, with many top members of the industry relating fond memories and stories about D'Egidio prior to him accepting the award.
