Lance Enfinger is a pharmacist from Mint Hill, N.C., near Charlotte. John Kugelman, of Gainesville, Va., is a software engineer specializing in cybersecurity.
Lance started constructing crosswords a few years ago in part to teach his children "the important lesson of taking on new challenges and growing through failure." As this is his third crossword published in The Times, Lance doesn't seem to be teaching failure very well!
