Co-Owner

Few kids were as obsessed with puzzles as a child as co-founder Adam Silver. Choosing his first job working at a toy store restocking the puzzle shelf, Adam was hooked. He puzzled in his spare time, on vacations and now does it for a living!

Turning his passion into a career took some hard work. He started at Cornell University, majoring in both Economics and History and got his law degree from University of Michigan. Now he puts all those skills into use as the head of sales, strategy, product development and licensing for NYPC.

She is head of design, operations, and finance for NYPC. She is also the environmental ambassador and liaison with 1% for the Planet.
