I’m Brian Callahan, a crossword constructor from Chicago. When I’m not making minis and midis for this site, you’ll find me editing and mentoring for Lil AVC X. Some of my other puzzles have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Andrews McNeel Universal Syndicate, American Values Club Crossword, Lemonade Disco, Apple News+, The Modern Crossword, Puzzmo, and USA Today.

Outside of making puzzles, I like to travel, run, follow Chicago sports, and spend time with my wife, Caroline, and our little terrier-mix, Penny.

Thanks for checking out my website! I hope you enjoy my creations.
