Craig worked at the Westby bus garage during school. He helped farm alongside his dad throughout his life. He worked in many areas such as; milking, working in tobacco, crop and field work and maintenance. There were 4 Engh farms he helped with. Craig then went on to work with David and Judy Larson on their farm and became lifelong friends. He started his own lawn mowing business where he took great pride in every lawn, especially his home Church, Vang.

Craig had a great knowledge of tractors and trucks and had a toy collection with over 2000 pieces at one time. He loved being with his friends, especially playing Euchre and singing karaoke.  Craig played pool for the Southridge Team.
