My name is Jason Baum. I was born on July 11, 1986 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I have lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and am an avid fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Steelers, and Pirates.
Here is a picture of me with my fiancé, Elizabeth:
We got engaged in December of 2007. Our wedding date is November 6, 2010.
After a few years of college at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, I decided that I wanted to do something a little more hands-on. Right now I am going to a tech school in Pittsburgh, PA called Triangle Tech, studying carpentry and construction technology, and I really enjoy it. I'll be done in May 2011.
Some of my other hobbies are drumming, hockey, and drum corps (DCI).
I have been cubing since August of 2004. I got into cubing thanks to my friend Joe Spadafora who patiently taught me. I never thought I would become this obsessed with it. It really is a great hobby. Here are my speedcubing stats:
