Craig has always been passionate about baseball from when he first started playing as an eight-year old in Little League baseball in Pasadena, California.
While in college, he developed an alternative passion for surfing. The carefree lifestyle of a surfer during the turbulent sixties and the Vietnam war, pushed baseball aside as he not only doubted his baseball abilities, but began questioning the values of his parents’ generation.
Craig finished college and the surfing/hippie world Craig
had embraced became his surrogate for baseball. As time
passed, Craig’s love for baseball was rekindled leading to
his established career as a successful hitting consultant
and roving instructor.
Craig had always thought about being a writer. The anguish and passion of his college years led to a metamorphosis of his value system which he never satisfactorily understood.
He wrote Sun and Water in an attempt to not only put his own life’s journey in perspective, but to explain his generation’s cultural revolution of the sixties.
