Zachary Shinkar
Chief Financial Officer
After Andy taught Zack how to solve a Rubik's Cube when they were 14, he quickly became set on learning how to do it faster. After practicing for many hours, he realized it wasn't as hard as he had initially thought. With that realization, he set out to start Cubes 4 Kids with Andy to help spread the love of cubing to others!
