Originally from San Diego, California, Craig is a graphic designer who graduated from Point Loma Nazarene University. As someone who has been overweight all his life, he describes himself as a lovable prankster who uses his sense of humor and magnetic personality to make friends. He suffers from sleep apnea and needs a machine to help him breathe when sleeping. He has also done some humanitarian work, traveling to as far as Turkey and Thailand to help in disaster relief.
Craig is one of the contestants in the ABC reality show The Mole. The show follows 12 contestants as they try to figure out who among them is The Mole, a saboteur who will keep them away from the prize money. It is up to the players to decide who The Mole is. They need to learn as much as possible about him or her because failure to do so means elimination. In the end, The Mole is revealed but only one will go home with the grand prize.
Craig says his endearing and non-threatening nature are bound to work to his advantage in the game as the other contestants will underestimate him. Yet once he wins their trust, that's when he will manipulate them. Despite his physical limitations, he says, his other abilities might surprise the viewers and players alike.
