He is known for providing pragmatic and understandable advice on complex issues and realistic solutions with a bottom-line orientation.

Craig draws from 14 years’ experience in shopping center management; as the founder of a 1-hour photo store chain; a successful MAACO franchisee; and 20 years as owner of an international financial services franchise company.  He’ll help you understand if franchise ownership is right for you and how to put FranNet’s no cost support program to work for you.
