Craig has over 20 years' experience in the cleaning & restoration industry. He got his start in the fall of 1996 after hurricanes Bertha and Fran hit the NC coast. At the time, Craig owned a small, single truck carpet cleaning company. Although carpet cleaning was successful, Craig was hungry to learn more. He immediately fell in love with the mixture of science and construction that is the restoration industry.

Craig quickly made a name for himself in the industry and was soon sought out by other local companies. While with a large national franchise, he served as their repair manager, production manager, he frequently filled in as the marketing representative & eventually he was promoted to their operations manager. He worked briefly on a large scale construction project at a healthcare facility where he served as their infection control coordinator. During which, he was tasked with protecting patient health during construction activities.

He was often elected to be in a mentoring & training role, until finally he struck out on his own again.
