Craig grew up in the Woodlawn, Texas area and went on to attend McCollum High School. His early years was spent in the Woodlawn and his love of horses, trail rides, and country life kept him in Texas throughout most of his adult life.

Craig had a deep love for family and friends. There was many who strive for fame and fortune, but Craig choose a life of a cowboy. You would always see "Cowboy" with a hat, starched jeans/shirts and boots. He loved to do his best and encouraged his family to do theirs as well.
