Brief Biographical Sketch:

I learned to solve the Rubik’s cube six years ago, and I started speedcubing soon after that. I have competed in many official competitions in several different events. I have even competed at the national level and broken state records. The cubing community is growing exponentially, and I have always wanted to educate kids to get more of them involved. I believe Splash is the perfect medium for me to do just that.
