began his yachting career in 1999. Although he was born in Colorado Springs, Craig spent the first 10 years of his childhood growing up in Naples, Italy, where his father was stationed in the U.S. Air Force. From Italy, Craig’s family moved to Fairfax, Virginia. He attended Catawba College in North Carolina, earning a degree in marketing. As a big Jimmy Buffett fan, Craig traveled around the states following his tour, while working in corporate sales of computer software in Washington, DC. His itinerant lifestyle led to his interest in yachting, which has taken him to some of his favorite places, including the Balearic Islands and Corsica. Craig’s other hobbies include scuba diving, ice hockey, baseball and football.
