What got you into cubing?
My first year of college at Duquesne University we had a freshman talent show thing during orientation week. There was a guy there who got up and solved a cube in 32 seconds (he even finished PLL behind his back, so for a while I was convinced he could do it blindfolded that quick. Turns out he couldn't even do a real BLD solve ;P). I had never even heard of anybody solving the puzzle before so this really amazed me and I was really interested in learning how to do it. A couple days later I found out that he was the same major as I was (music education), and we had a lot of the same classes together. He taught me one day and I've been addicted ever since then.

How many solves do you do a day?
Anywhere from 12 to over 100, depending on the day.

What is your favorite non-cube puzzle?
My favorite puzzle besides 3x3x3 is 4x4x4, but that's a cube so I guess that doesn't count. I'm not sure... I've been getting into Magic recently but they keep breaking and I don't feel like restringing them.

Do you take a cube with you everywhere?
Yeah, I always wear cargo pants so that I can carry a cube in my pocket. I actually have a separate cube for this. I never take my good cubes outside unless I have to, like if I'm going to a competition or something.

What lube do you use?
CRC Heavy Duty Silicone.

How long have you been cubing?
About 4 years and 3 or 4 months now.
