Craig’s professional life is a real conglomeration of occupations but the driving force of his life is his Christian faith, which motivates him to excel in vocational settings of every type and in his dealings with people. He received his undergraduate degree in instrumental music, having been trained as a band director. Afterward, he spent four years as a campus missionary and later earned a 4-year seminary degree. In between, he water-skied professionally at Sea World, specializing in barefoot skiing—backwards. At one point, he turned $10.00 and some borrowed equipment into a major, lawn maintenance operation in Plano, Texas.

Over time, he found what he does best and enjoys most. Since 1995, he has worked as a freelance writer/editor and has had a hand in the publication of a number of Christian books. Since 1999, he has served as a wedding officiant and is well-known in the Dallas area for striving to create spectacular moments in time for brides and grooms by performing weddings by memory and “from the heart.” In recent years, he has ministered as associate pastor and as pastor of a fabulous congregation at a retirement home. But his greatest source of satisfaction is that he and his wife, Laurie, are the proud parents of two awesome sons, John and Jeff. To God be the glory!
