Craig R. Hanna

Founder & CEO

Veteran

I’m a disabled veteran who served as a 12B Combat Engineer and Mine Dog Handler, where my bond with working dogs became even stronger. My love for dogs started in childhood, and throughout my life they’ve brought me loyalty, purpose, joy, and unconditional love.

Over the years, I gained experience in dog training and had the opportunity to work with 39 companies, including Ford Motor Company, Baja Designs, and Radflo Shocks to help build a specialized truck for Search and Rescue efforts.

My passion for media, community, and helping dogs eventually led me to create Pawzitive Media a company built around storytelling, events, marketing, and giving back. Through Pawzitive Media, we aim to grow businesses, build strong communities, and help support dogs in shelters by turning passion into purpose.

My whole life I have loved dogs, and one of my biggest dreams is to someday build a dog sanctuary where dogs can run free, play, and feel safe and loved.

My background has always been in finance and leadership. I was a General Sales Manager and later became the General Manager for a Ford dealership. Throughout my career, I loved bringing people together through events and community involvement, especially when it came to helping dogs and local shelters.

Now, through Pawzitive Media, I get to combine my passion for business, community, and dogs in a whole new way. I love helping businesses grow while also creating opportunities to give back and support our four-legged best friends. For me, it’s about building something meaningful that brings people together and makes a real difference for dogs in need.
