 Joon Pahk is a stay-at-home dad and puzzlemaker from Somerville, Massachusetts. He constructs weekly Rows Gardens and other variety puzzles for his own site, Outside the Box Puzzles. He has also constructed standard crosswords for several previous incarnations of Boswords, and is looking forward to some day attending crossword tournaments in person again! |  Jessie Bullock is a PhD candidate in Political Science at Harvard, researching organized crime and corruption in Latin America. New to the crossword construction scene, she has especially enjoyed hiding hobbies or places that have a special meaning to her in her grids. As a lifelong dancer, she was thrilled that she was able to include "ballet' in her debut puzzle for the New York Times, an homage to women in academia. |  Ross Trudeau is a writer and digital media producer for an education non-profit in Boston, MA. His hobbies include roughhousing with his bad cat Ruby, bouldering, and workshopping bits around the house with his partner, Jessie. He is the (semi-) official crossword constructor for U.S.A. soccer, and writes a weekly puzzle for his personal crossword site, Rossword Puzzles. |  Brendan Emmett Quigley has been writing puzzles since 1996, appearing regularly in every major market, several independent ones, and the occasional crossword tournament. He started this beard before COVID, and he's been baking sourdough for five years, now, so take that, you bunch of followers. |  Brad Wilber is a librarian and a writer originally from central New York. He has been constructing crosswords for publication since 1993. For much of that time he has specialized in themeless puzzles, both solo and in collaboration. His byline has appeared well over 100 times on Newsday's Saturday Stumper, widely recognized as the most challenging puzzle on the scene. He was the last editor (2014-2020) of the now-discontinued Chronicle of Higher Education crossword. |  John Lieb teaches Math and coaches football and baseball at The Roxbury Latin School. He loves every aspect of organizing Boswords, except for dealing with time formatting in Google Sheets. |  Andrew Kingsley is currently in his second year of teaching English at the Riverdale Country School in the Bronx. When not teaching, he's likely reading, cooking, or watching something on the Criterion Channel. |
