Personal Life
Craig is married to Vernessia (high school sweetheart) and has five children Damesha, Rometra, Rogdrick, Alexander and Nia- Jai. They live in Portola Valley, CA.
Craig spent several years studying Tae Kwon Do under Chris Jensen & Debbie Pederson at Golden State Tae Kwon Do in Foster City (now in San Carlos).
He currently works in marketing at Tibco Software in Palo Alto, California.
Craig is an avid runner and has participated in numerous marathons. He was the Grand Marshal for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway.
During his 49ers career he was nicknamed "Catfish" for his wide-eyed expression during runs. It earned him ribbing from his teammates when coach Bill Walsh would organize fishing trips to a lake near the Niners training facility: Walsh would joke "If you catch Roger, you don't get the hundred bucks." A painting of a catfish with a football and wearing a Craig jersey was commissioned and hung in the Niners locker room.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Our life on earth is, and ought to be, material and carnal. But we have not yet learned to manage our materialism and carnality properly; they are still entangled with the desire for ownership.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
