About Craig
Biography
When I am not practicing law, I spend time with my wife of 28 years, our five children, and--when I am lucky--our two granddaughters. An avid reader, I just finsihed Bury Me Standing: The Gypsies and Their Journey, by Isabel Fonseca. My favorite fiction writers are Stephen Hunter and Frederick Forsythe. My favorite serious fiction includes anything by John Milton, Sir Gowain and the Green Knight, and Horatius from the Lays of Ancient Rome.
