Crocker, whose family helped settle Barnstable in the 17th century, has worked in radio and television for more than 30 years. In 2011 he left broadcasting and took a job at the Bristol County House of Correction, helping inmates earn their high school diplomas and obtain employment after their release.

Since getting elected to the State House in 2016, Crocker has obtained funding for the Barnstable homeless outreach coordinator, the coastal restoration of Blish Point, the Oceanside Performing Arts Center in Hyannis and the Barnstable Applied Climate/Resiliency Center. He has also worked to pass legislation such as the Municipal Police Training Bill, Senior Property Tax Exemptions and Increased Benefit Access for Veterans and Their Families.
