Balloon twisting isn’t typically a career that leads to fame and fortune, but Neufeld has done remarkable things with just latex and helium. He founded the Twisted Balloon Company in 2003, an empire of balloon artists that he continues to operate out of Red Hook, Brooklyn, and he personally performs at roughly 175 events every year.
