Jeff Chen has published 138 crossword puzzles in the New York Times. That's already tied for 22nd all-time and he's only been doing this for 12 years.

Why the late start? Jeff's background is actually in mechanical engineering and technology. He was immensely successful in the pharmaceutical industry but felt like it was time for a new adventure.

Enter wordplay and writing. Jeff now spends his time constructing puzzles, authoring novels and exercising the more creative side of his mind. Turns out...he's pretty good at that too.

Learn about what drew Jeff into the world of crosswords, how he brainstorms different themes to entertain solvers and what keeps him coming back for more in this intriguing conversation.
