Although his father is a scientist, Craig Schaaf's dad designed the family home in Corbett. Moving to Corbett at age two, his parents went on to have three boys, with Craig being the oldest. As a child, Craig vividly recalls many hours playing outdoors. When he was six years old, his mother hauled their only TV set to the road with a huge "FREE" sign on it. Within ten minutes, it was gone! Craig laughs as he recalls a childhood spent in his huge back yard, playing soccer and frisbee, as well as helping his mom out with garden chores. Attending the very last year of Springdale School as a kindergartner, Craig spent grades 1-12 at the Corbett schools. In his youth, Craig played on the basketball, soccer and track teams. He was also kept busy with Cub and Boy Scouts, as his dad Mark was the leader for both troops. Becoming an Eagle Scout was quite the accomplishment for him as less than 4% of Scouts who begin the program ever make it to the Eagle level. After finishing Corbett High, Craig went on to Oregon State University and will be starting his senior year this fall, looking to one day become a medical doctor. He is currently the V.P. of the Oregon State Pre-Physician's Assistant's Club. One of Craig's passions is performance cars. He personally owns and drives a Nissan 350Z which he loves. Craig said his brother Alan is a very gifted mechanic and helps him out a great deal with knowing how to work on it. Favorite thing about Corbett? "Easy. The annual July 4th Parade."
