Ken Craig is a proud lifelong connection to Fairmont, Minnesota, where he was born and eventually returned to put down roots in 1983. After spending part of his childhood in southern Minnesota and a short time in Arizona, Fairmont has remained home ever since. Ken and his wife, Jill, have been married for 40 years and are the proud parents of three daughters—Stephanie, Cayce, and Lisa.
Ken graduated from Parker High School in Arizona in 1982 and went on to attend the University of Arizona before continuing his education at Mankato Vo-Tech. He also credits much of his life experience to what he calls the “school of hard knocks.”
Ken dedicated over two decades to military service, serving in the National Guard from 1983 to 1986 and in the Active Army from 1986 to 2005. Following his military career, he began working with Profinium Insurance, where he continues today. His commitment to serving others extended locally as well, with 20 years on the Fairmont Fire Department and time with Fairmont Ambulance/Gold Cross.
Outside of work, Ken enjoys spending time with family—especially his grandson, Royce—and relaxing at their lake home up north. He’s an avid golfer, enjoys experimenting with new recipes on his pellet grill and Blackstone, and has spent the past 35 years adventuring with a close-knit group, transitioning from snowmobiling to side-by-side trips. As he looks ahead, Ken and Jill are excited to begin checking off items on their retirement bucket list together.
