From Fort Worth, Teaxs, Craig works as a Systems Engineer. He will be flying his Pitts S1-XTC with a roll rate of 500+ deg/ sec.

Craig earned his Private Pilot Certificate at the age of 18 while washing airplanes after school at a local airport. He met a couple of IAC pilots at an R/C airplane contest that he was flying in and they talked him into attending a full scale aerobatic contest. One of them took him for a ride in an S2-B and he has been hooked ever since.

Craig built his own highly modified Pitts S1 that he competes in today. It took him three years and nine months to complete the aircraft. Craig test flew it in May of 2007 and competed in the US Nationals in September of that year and earned a position on the 2008 USA Advanced Team.

Craig placed third in the Unknown 1 Program at the 2008 AWAC held in Pendleton, Oregon, and finished seventh overall. Look for Craig high in the final standings as he will be a threat at the 2010 AWAC.
