Craig Knudson: Living the Good Life in Chula Vista!
Craig Knudson is one of the founding members of the South Bay Alliance. A resident of Chula Vista (Rancho Del Rey) since 1997, from from the Kensington area of San Diego because he said he wanted a swimming pool and a 3 car garage and he sure got both. His home and swimming pool have been the site of many infamous parties including several held for the South Bay Alliance. Craig and his partner Jimmie, aka "Baby Cakes," and their white poodle named "Prince Casa Boo Boo" like to entertain a lot and this is the perfect house for that! Craig also loves to travel and recently visited Borneo this past year. Many more trips are planned for 2008). Craig owns several companies. BancForce Financial Staffing that was founded in 1990, and provides financial staffing to banks, credit unions, mortgage, title, and escrow companies in California. Their website is www.bancforce.com you can check them out for more information or to check employment opportunities. Another is Cashmart, which is located at 1255 Imperial Avenue in San Diego, and was founded in 1995. Cashmart provides Bus and Trolley ticket sales, financial services, including check cashing and tax return preparation. He joined the South Bay Alliance because he wanted to see more gay and gay friendly activism and openness in the Southbay. I asked him why he became so active in the South Bay Alliance and he quotes “Only a few people wanted to do it and I got tagged, because I don't know how to say no. Ha, Ha, Ha. Isn’t that how all great groups get started?" Craig jokes a lot but he is serious about growing the membership of the South Bay Alliance and that is why he stepped up to not only be the Treasurer but also Chair the Membership Committee because he feels the strength of an organization is its membership. Craig also currently sits on the California Staffing Professions, a State Staffing Trade Association, and is their Treasurer. He is also very active in SAGA, and is a current member and former board member of a Gay Skiing, Snowboarding, and Social Association in San Diego. Stepping Stone San Diego, where he was the former President and Board Member. Stepping Stone Provides alcohol and other drug treatment services to the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender communities of San Diego.
