Craig’s connection to Kalgoorlie began in the early 2000s, when he first lived and worked in the region. Years later, he returned with his family, drawn by the opportunities, friendly people, and a lifestyle that blends career growth with personal fulfilment.
As CEO of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Racing Club, Craig leads one of the region’s most recognised organisations, delivering major horse racing events that attract visitors from near and far. Craig values the ease of life in Kalgoorlie, where everything is close at hand and it’s possible to balance a busy career with quality family time.
Outside of his role, Craig enjoys golf, spending time with his family, and taking annual trips away. For him, Kalgoorlie offers the best of both worlds, the space and friendliness of a country town, with the career and business opportunities to truly build a future.
“Kalgoorlie is relaxed, welcoming, and multicultural. You’ve got space, a strong sense of community, and real financial opportunity. It’s a place where you can build a future, grow your career or business, and still be home in five minutes.
