Personal History Craig was born on the family homestead ranch outside of Billings Montana. When he wasn't in school studying, he was in the hills and mountains that surrounded the city.

Craig grew up going to school, working on the ranch, hunting and fishing the hills and mountains to learn to survive off of the land.

By the time he was ten years old, Craig knew he wanted to follow in the footsteps of so many other family members and heed the call of exploring the stars and planned on attending the academy.

In high school, Graig played as the Quarterback on the school's football team. It was there he met and fell in love with one of the cheerleaders Sasha Millet. (Whom he later married after the academy.)

The day after he graduated from high school he applied to Starfleet academy, and was accepted after a rigorous battery of testing.

Craig always felt that he needed to push himself and overcome a challenge to improve himself. It didn't matter to him if the challenge was against himself, the world or the galaxy itself.

In 2385, Craig and Sasha got married while he was assigned to the Embassy on Khitomer. A year later in 2386, His son Samual Jr. was born. (Named in honor of his father, Samual Braxton Sr.)

Four years later, Craig and Sasha were blesed with their second child Amanda in 2390 after being Promted to Lieutenant and made Ops Department head, while being assigned to the USS Europa.

Sasha went back to earth to visit with her family in 2395. There she met with Craig's cousin Willard Simpson. Willard began romancing Sasha and soon drove a wedge between them. Sasha never returned to Craig and the children on the USS Vancouver and told Craig that she wanted a divorce, which was granted and finalized in 2397.

Craig had some long and serious talks with Samual and Amanda. It was agreed that they would return to Earth to live with Gandma and grandpa Braxton and have adjusted well to their new life in Montana.

Craig makes sure to send home at least two or three sub space communications per week to his parents and children. He may not be there in person, but he still wants to be part of their lives and hear about everything they do.

Just recently he was transfered to the USS Majestic and has started as her Executive Officer. After the sting of the divorce and resettling the children, life is returning to normal and the future is currently an open and bright horizon that lay before him.
