Meet the Team
Rob Crawford
CEO
If you’re wondering why our name is based on a baseball term, look no further than our own coach, Rob Crawford. With over 15 years of coaching baseball at the high school, college, and semi-professional levels, Rob decided to return to his old field of sales. After growing sales exponentially at IPL MacroTrac, he was promoted to Senior Business Development Manager where he directed every aspect of the sales division. During his time with IPL MacroTrac, Rob was able to establish relationships that helped him gain access into hard to reach markets, proving that finding and building strong relationships is crucial to advancing your business. After being sought out by various companies that wanted his expertise, he decided to start his own company that would allow businesses to Turn 2 him and his team as they pursue their own growth within their companies.

Kenny Crawford
Marketing Manager
After studying biochemistry at UCSD, Kenny decided it was best to neglect his degree and pursue marketing where his creativity could be put to use. Kenny comes to Turn 2 with 8 years of marketing experience, ready to oversee branding, content creation, and marketing opportunities for Turn 2 and its clients. He also has a love for baseball and sports, joining rec leagues against the wishes of his deteriorating body.
Jon Puckett
Safety Category Manager
Defined by hard work and an ever wavering sense of curiosity, Jon (known as Puckett) retired as a Police Lieutenant from the Norfolk Police Department after 21 years. The NPD was kind enough to allow Puckett to explore every aspect of police work that interested him and included SWAT, Range Master, K-9, Training Division, the Intelligence Unit, and Leadership Training with a concentration in resilience. Puckett grew his experience by leading the National Account for the State and Local Team for ADS in Virginia Beach, where he still lives. Turn 2 Consulting has signed him to bring a unique perspective to businesses that want to grow in municipal and government markets. Puckett has the experience of being both a government customer and a seller in markets that are very difficult to navigate without proven experience and success. He is a husband, a father of two girls (5 and almost 2) and is an avid seeker of growth and positivity.
Robert Crawford
Lead Programmer & Web Developer
Robert is a talented coder and computer programmer who handles website and software development as well as animation projects.
