Meet the Team

Craig is the founder of Crush Consulting, a firm built to help small businesses access and compete for opportunities within the public sector.

He brings a unique combination of military leadership and real-world government experience. Craig served in the United States Air Force in a Crisis Response role, where he led operations in high-pressure environments requiring coordination across multiple agencies, rapid decision-making, and mission execution in dynamic conditions.

Following his military service, Craig transitioned into regional government, where he served as the Director of Regional Planning with a Council of Governments. In this role, he works directly with municipalities, engineers, contractors, and state agencies to support infrastructure development, public funding initiatives, and long-term planning efforts. His work includes navigating procurement processes, coordinating multi-jurisdictional projects, and helping local governments move complex initiatives from concept to execution.

Through this experience, Craig recognized a consistent gap that many capable small and mid-sized businesses are not competing for public-sector work, not because of lack of skill, but because of the complexity of the system and lack of access to clear guidance.

Crush Consulting was created to address that gap.

Craig focuses on helping businesses identify realistic opportunities, understand requirements, and position themselves effectively, without wasting time chasing projects that don’t align with their capabilities.

His approach is direct, practical, and grounded in real experience on both sides of the process.
