What Craig lacks in golf skill––he still brags about getting a “hole in four” one time––he makes up with his devotion to kids who want to learn life skills through sports. A middle-childhood education major at Kent State where he’s studying to become a math teacher, Craig has been a youth travel basketball coach and a day camp counselor at the Paul & Carol David YMCA. A graduate of Jackson High School where he was a captain of the basketball team, Craig enjoys working out, cooking and playing any sport for fun.

Jacob plans to pursue a career in pipefitting through a union apprenticeship program.
