Personal
Craig's personal and professional background shaped his philosophy to protect what matters most at every stage. As a young child, Craig lost his father to a car accident and watched his mother raise three young children on her own. He learned early on the vital importance of effective financial planning and life insurance protection. Because of this, Craig is committed to ensuring each family he works with is protected, taking their best interest to heart.
Craig was born in a small town in Iowa, living there for almost 24 years. After meeting in college, Craig and his wife Nicole moved to Minnesota, where they have lived for 22 years. They have three children – Reece, Macklin, and Sutton. When not coaching basketball or spending time with the family, Craig enjoys golf, dining out, watching Iowa Hawkeye and San Francisco 49ers events along with spending time with friends.
