Bio
Mel Gargus
One of the best announcers I've ever worked with! You made the games very entertaining to work...
Jeffrey Mather
I had the great pleasure of meeting and working with Craig over 10 days at the U18 World Baseball. His play by play work was to the point, efficiently descriptive, obviously well prepared and delightful to listen to. We were averaging three games a day with teams from 12 countries, and the ease by which Craig delivered some challenging name pronunciations was impressive in itself. Craig has a friendly and humorous demeanour, consistently shown over long days. He is a strong team player and will be a solid asset wherever he goes!

Co-Founder, President

Oct 2008 - Jun 2011
Immediately upon graduating college I co-created a network of websites that allowed students to anonymously share secrets online. The original site, buffsecret.com, was conceived as a localized, digitized version of PostSecret. It has turned out to be a precursor to today's wildly popular anonymous sharing outlets such as whisper, secret.ly, yik yak, and more. We built the company from the ground up, generating traffic through use of social media, PR and guerrilla marketing tactics. Buffsecret.com began generating revenue from local advertising 9 months after its initial launch. We grew from one site in Boulder, CO to a network of four sites in Colorado and New England in one year. Ultimately, my partner and I used the experience of building Secrets Connect to follow our dreams and pursue other careers. In my case, it led me to a career in sports broadcasting and journalism.
