Always on the move, his passion is the movement/dance modality of Nia in which he currently holds a Blue Belt. He found Nia as a healing and conditioning activity that became his passion in life in addition to his wife and soul-mate Robin. Craig holds an MA in Microbiology, and a MS in Soil Microbiology. His employment since age 12 has been diverse including agricultural field work; mechanics; air traffic control and aircraft electronics; medical and environmental microbiology; research; environmental, health and safety management; and currently enjoying a new life retired from Washington State University after 35 years. He is excited to pursue his Nia practice, teaching others, and self-healing.
