Hi, I’m Craig, and this site isn’t really done yet. If you want to know when it gets done, you can follow me on Twitter at @craigengler. If you’re wondering where the photo on top of the blog is from, it’s me on the set of my first movie.  We were shooting on the top of Mt. Vitosha in Bulgaria during a blizzard, and the temperature was -20 degrees.

I’m currently the Sr. Vice President & General Manager of Syfy Digital. I oversee all of Syfy’s online activities, including Syfy.com, Blastr.com, DVICE.com, SyfyGames.com, ChillerTV.com, our original online production entity Syfy Digital Studios, and our extensive presence on mobile phones and tablets. As a member of the Syfy Channel’s senior team, I also help determine our overall strategy, including what shows, movies and miniseries we make.

I’m very active on Twitter using the handle @syfy, which was named one of the 10 most influential Twitter feeds alongside Google and Ashton Kutcher.

I frequently speak about the intersection of the Internet and television at conferences like Mashable Connect, SXSW, Digital Hollywood, 140 Conf, Digital Media Summit, Blog-On, Future of Television, NY Television Festival, and many others.

I’ve written about TV and the Internet at blogs like BoingBoing and Mashable, and in my previous life as a journalist I’ve written for publications such as Wired, The New York Times, Make and even Mondo 2000.

In 1995 I founded the Web ‘zine Science Fiction Weekly. Six months later the Sci Fi Channel exclusively licensed the content of Science Fiction Weekly for their site Scifi.com, and in 1997 I left my job to work on it full-time.  In 1999 Sci Fi bought Science Fiction Weekly from me and hired me to be the Executive Producer for all of their online content.  Over the years we’ve created a lot of innovative content and won numerous awards for our work. The highlights include an Emmy Award in the interactive category, a “People’s Voice” Webby Award, several Streamy Awards for our Battlestar web series, and two Hugo Awards form the World Science Fiction Society.

I’ve participated in the AFI’s Enhanced TV Workshop and been a judge for the Interactive Emmy Awards.

In my spare time I’ve written a couple of movies that aired on Syfy. One was called Zombie Apocalypse and featured Ving Rhames killing zombies the way they were meant to be killed…with a sledgehammer. The other was called Rage of the Yeti and, as you might expect, featured raging Yetis.  I’m pleased to report that Zombie Apocalypse was our #1 movie of the year in 2011.
