With nine years of dedicated experience and a reputation for results, Craig continues to be a leading force in the regional real estate market. In 2025, he ranked in the top 10% of local agents with 37 successful transactions totaling $7.4 million in sales – an achievement that places him among the top 20% of all Realtors across the entire Upper Peninsula. Craig brings the same discipline to real estate that he has honed over two decades as the Band Director for Iron Mountain Public Schools. A Northern Michigan University alumnus with a degree in Music Education, he balances a high-level professional career with a deep commitment to his community.
Whether you are moving within Michigan or crossing the border into Wisconsin, Craig’s dual-state licensing and local expertise make him a go-to resource. Outside of the office (and the classroom), you can find him performing with “Kind of Blues,” volunteering at local fundraisers, or spending time with his wife, Erin, and their four children.
