Info | Craig Schley was born in Philadelphia on September 23, 1963. The best words to describe Craig Schley are determined and dedicated. As a teenager growing up in a poor urban community in Philadelphia in the 60’s, he was not afforded the right educational tools to fulfill his dreams. Since the age of 20, he has pursued his life with a focus that has allowed him to overcome substantial hurdles, turning setbacks into triumphs. While he did not know it as a young man, determination would be the key that would help him overcome the disadvantages of a poor inner-city education.
Raised in a family of six children, his parents worked hard to raise and educate their children through Philadelphia’s underfunded public school system. As one of the youngest, by the time he graduated from high school, his parents could only afford to provide him with a roof over his head. So, at the age of 18, determined not be a burden on his parents, he left home with $600 and a high school diploma. Not having a college education forced him to find a job that would provide him vocational skills. That job was an electrician’s apprentice for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
