Java, Spring, and Alexa Developer

Craig is an engineer with VMware, Java Champion, Alexa Champion, and the author of Spring in Action and Build Talking Apps.

When he's not slinging code, Craig is planning his next trip to Disney World or Disneyland and spending as much time as he can with his wife, two daughters, 1 bird and 2 dogs.
