His early childhood was filled with lots of love, joy and adventure. Craig was an incredible musician. Finding he favoured the drums more than any other instrument. He followed in his father’s footsteps as a musician where he often played with his father’s band in local nightclubs at an incredibly youthful age. He would have to stay off stage while not playing. His musical talent took him across the world performing with a variety of bands as well as playing independently. Craig’s love of music spanned many genres of music. He played for several churches and a wide variety of local events. Being a double amputee could not shake his love of music as he continued to enjoy being able to use his gifts. His final commitment to sharing what the Lord had blessed him with was being the drummer at Lamb Of God Church and Good News Church.

Craig was an enthusiastic motorcycle rider for many years, riding his bike across country. Another activity he enjoyed is the competitive sport of karate where he thrived.
