He has held many different IT-related positions in his career ranging from sales support engineer to mobile architect for a 40,000-smartphone infrastructure at a large bank.

In addition to designing and supporting mobile computing environments, Craig co-hosts the CrackBerry.com podcast, as well as guest hosting on other podcasts including iPhone and iPad Live podcasts. You can see Craig’s previously published work in his book Professional BlackBerry , and many books in the My series, including My BlackBerry Curve , My Palm Pre , My Nexus One , My DROID (first and second editions), My Motorola Atrix 4G , My BlackBerry PlayBook , and My HTC EVO 3D .

Craig also enjoys high-horsepower, high-speed vehicles and tries very hard to keep to the speed limit while driving them.
