David Craig is a visionary and works tirelessly to push the boundaries of his development projects. The proud son of a retired Air Force colonel, David learned the value of hard work and dedication at a very young age. He founded Craig International, a commercial brokerage and development company more than 40 years ago in McKinney, Texas and the company has grown to control and/or develop well in excess of 10,000 acres in Collin and Grayson Counties since it was founded. David’s motivation and passion are evidenced by the success of Craig Ranch, a McKinney, Texas award-winning master-planned community that he founded more than 20 years ago with a current ad valorem value in excess of $4 billion. He began with 1,125 acres of farmland and it is now a thriving, 2,200-acre community with commercial, residential, and mixed-use retail anchored by the TPC Craig Ranch, which is currently the new home of the AT&T Byron Nelson Classic. David is the Chairman of the Board of Governors of TPC Craig Ranch and is Chairman of the TPC Craig Ranch Host Committee for the AT&T Byron Nelson. Craig Ranch knows no limits and the development has always been on the cutting edge, way before New Urbanism was embraced. David’s vision has been realized in the 500 acres of parks and green space, the 270-acre employment district, the McKinney Corporate Center Craig Ranch. One of David’s current projects is District 121, a destination retail, corporate, and restaurant development adjacent to Craig Ranch. The biggest benefit of having David involved in the day-to­day activity of the firm’s development projects is that he is laser-focused on detail, and he makes sure every project is built in the best, most innovative and efficient way possible. David’s passion for business carries over to the many cause-related issues Craig International supports including the Love Life Foundation, The Boys and Girls Club of America - Collin County; The Family Place; Habitat for Humanity; The Samaritan Inn; Smiles Charity; and American Heart Association, only to name a few.
