Craig Pittman
About the Author
Craig Pittman is an acclaimed journalist and author whose sharp wit and keen eye for the absurd have made him a leading chronicler of Florida's eccentricities and their ripple effects across America. With over two decades at the Tampa Bay Times, where he earned the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing, Pittman has delved into environmental issues, political oddities, and cultural quirks that define the Sunshine State. His debut book, 'Oh, Florida!: How America's Weirdest State Influences the Rest of the Country,' masterfully blends humor, history, and investigative reporting to reveal how Florida's wild underbelly shapes national discourse. A native Floridian, Pittman continues to captivate readers with his engaging narratives on the state's outsized influence, from alligator-infested suburbs to election-season theatrics, proving that truth is indeed stranger—and funnier—than fiction.
