About Me

My photo
Craig
I grew up in the U.S., born in Kansas but raised mostly in Washington except for four years in Texas. I've lived overseas since 1993. I still get back to visit though, at least once a year for a few weeks at a stretch. I should probably have written several books by now, but I still haven't gotten around to it.
