Craig, 37, has been married eleven years and is very proud of his four daughters. He was born in Gulfport, Mississippi, but raised in San Francisco. He is currently an EMT and firefighter working 24-hours a day, every 3 days. During his time off, Craig became a standing partner in the "Pinnacle Entertainment Group," a music conglomerate. Craig also created and developed a modest shoeshine franchise entitled, "Peaceful Feet Shoe Shine Inc."
He has the natural ability to turn a worn out dirty pair of shoes and make it look like brand new - by "spit shining." He's going to be Mr. Popularity on Apprentice Three. Has personality and knows how to jive his way through. Wants people to think he has morals but at the same time quietly moves people to do the dirty work using the "Men of Cloth" approach. Craig holds lots of invisible power to influence people. Will go far but not able to win on this good earth. Craig has chutzpah but is no Kwame with style, class and education - a real powerbase in commercializing ideas to the marketplace.
Craig thinks he's a preacher and will lead the "nut case" group to victory and show his worth to his team. He reminds me of being the Troy from Apprentice One.... a bit crafty and will get people to do things for him like Kwame to promote the sale of autographed memorabilia... sitting on the sidewalks of Times Square, signing autographs and taking pictures... to hustle people. Craig's probably a smooth talker like Troy and his team mates can relate to him because he tells a good story.

A devout Christian, Craig feels called up to lead people to the Lord. His competitors may use underhanded means to get ahead, but Craig will remain steadfast in his faith in the Lord and in himself.
He is currently an EMT and firefighter working 24-hours a day, every third day. During his time off, Craig has become a standing partner in the "Pinnacle Entertainment Group," a music conglomerate. Craig also created and developed a modest shoeshine franchise entitled, "Peaceful Feet Shoe Shine Inc." With all of his business ventures, Craig still finds time to run his teen outreach programs and council other up-and-coming entrepreneurs. Partially due to his affinity for mentoring others, Craig firmly believes that he and Donald Trump are kindred spirits.
Look to see Craig making it past the mid rounds as the competition gets intense before he gets booted out to the streets. Yeah, he's cool and he can get some of the people do things for him, but he can't get The Donald to hire him. Here's a good read.
quote:
Preacher is one of the coolest, most shocking books ever created. God abandoned heaven to roam the earth and all is not right in the world. So preacher Jesse Custer is out to find God. Literally. Custer's a man of the cloth with the power to make others do his bidding. He has made it his mission to not only find God, but to force Him to do His job in heaven. Yep. When Jesse meets God, he's going to whip His holy ass. Custer is aided and abetted by former girlfriend Tulip and a drunk vampire, Cassidy. Sounds like fun? Sure is.
I agree with KB...he might actually be the sleeper.... hes got good potential, he worked hard this task...as well as the first....... still too early to form an opinion on him.
KB didn't say that in earlier posting on this thread yet. Are you reading stuff elsewhere?
This dude was mighty quiet during the Motel Renovation blowup. In fact, he didn't seemed to have contributed much in Episode #2. Craig listens as Donald questions project manager Brian about Net Worth's loss on the motel task.

The guy is too slow against all the other city slicks.
Just to give some of you a sneak peak into what Im thinking ... I can let you in on a secret. I think Craigs great. He needs to stand out more, but youll see that in the coming weeks. Hes going to go far.
Come on KB, it's NOT by birth place, but where Apprentice learned his/her occupational experience and work habits. For instance, Ivana was born in Arkansas but got educated in Maryland/Virginia and worked in Boston. You should count not birth but employment experience as the predominant work culture. So for Craig, you don't count Mississippi but Conley, GA. where he works as an EMT and owns his business. Like that dude claiming to be Trump said, "Craig hasn't stood out yet," but I said earlier that he would go far, but NOT to win as you possibly will pick him in the finalists. Hey, I like Craig as a Street Smarts, but I like to see how he handles difficult challenges. Craig doesn't even come close to Kwame who didn't win in A1 as to work experience from the #1 most intense city in the U.S. NYC Manhattan Wall Street with a major investment banking firm and Proctor and Gamble.
But I have no clue what his political persuasion is nor how Craig voted and those aren't the factors used in identifying the more capable worker separating from the others. My methodology is merely geographical and whether his company where he works operates in a heavy competition local and urban market. He is as good as his immediate competition. If he plays in the major league, he works in a more competitive environment as opposed to the little league.
I think Craig might have the capabilities to be in Trump's organization from what we've see so far. I just don't know if he has the temperment or people skills - the way he appears to talk to Kendra on next week's show makes me think this. We'll see!
