Craig Stevenson

I am a lifelong technologist, business owner, and problem-solver with more than 45 years of hands-on experience in electronics, communications, computing, network infrastructure, and systems analysis. My background is rooted in diagnosing complex technical failures—often where others could not—and tracing problems to their true source using evidence, logic, and persistence. Those same skills now inform my work at Justice-Denied.org.

Education

I graduated from Eagle Bend High School in 1978 and the Electronics Technology program at Wadena Area Vocational Technical Institute in 1980, but my technical career began earlier. In 1975, while still a teenager, I started repairing electronics equipment out of my parents’ home. That early work grew into decades of professional experience spanning broadcast television, cable systems, fiber-optic and microwave communications, computing infrastructure, and software systems.

Shortly after graduation, I taught Electronics Technology at the Staples Area Vocational Technical Institute for nine weeks as a substitute teacher.

Communicasting – First in the Nation

In the early 1980s, I served as Chief Engineer for Channel 45 (KG2XCB, later K45AR) in Eagle Bend, Minnesota. Dubbed “Communicasting”, this was the first school owned and operated educational Interactive Television (ITV) system in the United States. My responsibilities included maintenance of the primary EMCEE (Electronics Missiles and Communications, Inc.) 100 watt UHF television transmitter, microwave (ITFS) transmitters and receivers, video and switching equipment, system wiring, and all other infrastructure supporting an interactive television system. During that same period, I also performed contract engineering work for Todd Communications, Inc. in Minneapolis, providing repair and maintenance services for low-power television translators and their cooling systems located across central Minnesota.

MSET

Beginning in 1987, I became the Technology Coordinator for the Mid-State Educational Technology (MSET) Cooperative, headquartered in Upsala, Minnesota. In that role, I was responsible for maintaining fiber-optic transmitters and receivers, modulators, demodulators, and classroom equipment used in a regional interactive television project. In 1988, I was also employed by Upsala Telephone Company to maintain and expand that same system. My work there included designing and implementing several novel technologies that significantly improved system reliability and performance.

During this period, I also performed contract work for the East Central Minnesota Educational Cable Cooperative (ECMECC) in Braham, Minnesota. These roles reinforced a central theme of my career: complex systems fail in subtle ways, and solving them requires both deep technical knowledge and disciplined attention to evidence.

Craig’s Radio & TV / C&R Cable Company / STSI

Alongside my engineering work, I owned and operated Craig’s Radio & TV in Bertha, Minnesota beginning in 1979, followed by C&R Cable Company, Inc. in 1981. Following the sale of the cable company franchise in 1989, I formed Stevenson Technical Services, Inc. (STSI). Through these businesses, I served a wide range of customers—including school districts, clinics, hospitals, elderly care facilities, banks, local governments, small businesses, and private individuals—before transitioning the business toward online operations in 2000, and relocating to Fergus Falls.

Since then, I have continued to apply my technical background to my own company, Stevenson Technical Services, Inc. (STSI), where I serve as President and CEO in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. My work has included the installation and maintenance of desktop computers, laptops, thin clients, servers, firewalls, network switches, security systems, structured wiring, and wireless infrastructure. I have also handled data backup, recovery, restoration, cybersecurity, website design and maintenance, and even HVAC system design and support when required.

Operating Systems and Programming

Over the years, I have worked extensively with operating systems ranging from DOS and Novell NetWare to modern Windows desktop and server platforms, as well as programming languages such as BASIC, Visual Basic, Pascal, and Delphi. I have deep experience with Microsoft Office applications and enterprise computing environments.

Troubleshooting

Because of my education, training, and experience, I have been able to solve many difficult problems. In one instance, I isolated a global virtualization failure to a single server responsible for distributing Windows updates worldwide. In another, I traced a broadcast transmission failure to corrosion inside an RF power combiner at a television translator site—an issue that had eluded prior investigation.

These experiences shaped how I think: problems are solved by following the evidence, not by authority, assumptions, or convenience.

Justice-Denied.org

Justice-Denied.org, where I serve as Editor-in-Chief & Investigative Lead, grew out of that mindset. When I encountered the Minnesota judicial system firsthand, I applied the same analytical discipline I had used for decades in engineering and systems diagnostics. What I found—undisclosed relationships, selective fact-finding, evidence mishandling, and institutional resistance to accountability—demanded documentation and public scrutiny.

This site reflects my belief that truth matters, evidence matters, and systems—whether technical or judicial—must be held accountable when they fail.
