Craig admires those communities that have an unrelenting commitment to preservation of open space with an eye toward sustainable development practices. His interest in the work of the Summit Land Conservancy stems from a fundamental belief in the value that conservation serves for the community. Much of Craig’s youth was spent out-of-doors with a father who was an avid hunter and fisherman and with two brothers who spent endless hours on nearby lakes, rivers, forests, and fields of western Michigan. Although Craig lived much of his early years in rural Michigan, he attended college in Philadelphia, at the University of Pennsylvania where he received a B.S. in Economics from the Wharton School. After working for a few years in New York City and other East coast cities, Craig went back to law school at the University of Michigan. Following law school, Craig headed West and worked for a large law firm (Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison) in San Francisco after which he worked as in-house legal counsel at several successful software companies, including Oracle Corporation and Siebel Systems. Most recently, Craig served as Associate General Counsel of Omniture, Inc. (based in Orem, UT) which was recently acquired by Adobe Systems, Inc. Although his 17 years of experience are primarily in technology-related law, Craig has always been drawn to pro bono legal work for conservation-minded organizations, including for a time, serving as a member of the Board of California Trout. Recently Craig and his wife, Liesel, decided to visibly put down roots in Park City by building a home (with a substantial degree of green development practices) in the hope that their two young boys could continue to experience wild places in their own backyard.
