About Craig

Running my 7th Marathon at the end of Ironman LouisvilleSchooled as an Electrical Engineer (Rice ‘03), trained as a Microsoftie (Windows Security PM), I’ve now broken off from the paved path to see where my career will take me. I’m interested in most things tech, and even more in entrepreneurial ventures.

I’m currently building my company, ‘dos Santos and Partners LLC‘ which focuses on bringing international outsourcing vendors together with US firms who can use their services. I aim to bridge the gap between the two continents for mutual benefit by concentrating on high quality work, strong communication, and trustworthy partners. On the side, I also twist balloons for events, and give seminars on how to improve your memory. I’m always working on ideas, and looking for the right people to work on them with me.

Outside of professional career, I’m a runner, and recently an Ironman triathlete. I play the guitar and piano and would like to play improve enough to get into jazz. I love Brazil, and would like to visit even more often than I do now.

Hey Craig,

I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now. I find a lot of similarity in your passions. I am a computer science engineering student currently at Penn, and like yourself, I have always been driven to explore life and discover myself in the process.

Please keep writing and let me know how you’re doing.

Best,

Ju

P.S. You should check out the movie Into the Wild if you have the chance.
