Bill Craycraft | Founder + Webmaster
Bill has left no stone unturned in his quest for understanding of all things technical, logistical and technological. An IT background during the formative years of the web fueled his quest for understanding the inner workings of what has become the internet universe today. A Logistics Project Lead for Bell Helicopter for nearly a decade provided him the perfect environment to prove his natural ability to solve nearly any problem and find solutions for tasks most would simply walk away from.
Tech Cantina is the brainchild of Bill's desire to answer challenges in an ever-changing web landscape by employing the same reasoning faculties that have enabled him to solve global challenges for Fortune 500 companies. He is relentless in asking "why" and and has the patience of a saint, as his wife Cathy will attest.
