Craig had a love of numbers from an early age and decided that he could learn a lot about business if he understood accounting and finance. In 1988, he graduated from Valdosta State University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting degree. While in college, Craig got his start at a public accounting firm preparing corporate and individual income taxes and providing client write-up services. A few years later he was given the opportunity to be Controller of a small, but growing computer services company where he advanced to be one of the top three executives. He later became a partner in a residential construction company, prior to joining the Southern Wall team in early 2008. With over 24 years of experience in accounting, finance, administration, risk management and human resources, Craig plays an important role in ensuring that SWS best meets the needs of its clients.
