Introduction Craig Playstead is a freelance writer, editor and father of three living in the suburbs of Seattle. Known for his writing on MSN which includes anything from fatherhood to style tips for the average guy to the Sexiest Women Over 40, Craig has been lucky enough to reach millions of readers. Craig has been writer and editor since high school where he wrote sarcastic articles as the school paper’s sports editor and was even confronted by the girl’s track team. He’s also produced content for TV, print, radio, the Internet, video games and now for mobile devices. During his short radio career he also co-hosted a show with the legendary Morton Downey Jr. In between radio gigs he also sold wine and put on tastings, which comes in handy when you have three kids. Ten years as a father and many more as a coach has allowed Craig to mold a unique, funny and honest perspective on parenthood in way that most can easily relate to. His mission is to make sure we’re not raising a generation of wimps. Craig has been a guest on radio and TV stations across the country talking about anything from fatherhood to Van Halen.
