Where do you currently live?
Lake Wales, Fla., a small town smack dab in the middle of the state. It’s a land of swamps, citrus groves and cattle ranches.
Where and when was your first puzzle published?
How did you get into puzzling? What is your first memory of solving?
I found a bunch of New York Times puzzle books on the 75 percent off clearance rack at Barnes & Noble and scooped them up, solving in my free time.
What made you decide to try your hand at making a crossword puzzle?
