Craig Spiesman, a retired Restoration Account Manager originally from Parsippany, New Jersey, now delights in the serenity and richness of retirement in the verdant state of Georgia. Transitioning from the hustle of his professional life, he has embraced a newfound freedom that allows him to explore passions that resonate deeply with him: amateur photography, golf, and active participation in his community.

Upon retiring, Craig's interest in photography was reignited by his journeys through the picturesque Southeastern United States and the stunning landscapes of the Hawaiian Islands. With his iPhone always ready, he captures the awe-inspiring views of Northern Georgia, the serene beaches of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and the diverse, captivating vistas of Hawaii. These images do more than document his travels; they celebrate the beauty of nature and the shared moments with his wife, Cindy, enriching their lives and connecting them with friends and family.

Craig also finds joy in golf, frequently visiting the lush courses around Atlanta, where the emphasis is on the pleasure of the game rather than competitive scores. His approach to golf is casual and social, cherishing the laughter and conversations with friends. When he's not swinging a golf club, he enjoys the strategic game of billiards, engaging in weekly matches at his local clubhouse. These evenings are filled with friendly competition and camaraderie, integral to his weekly social life.

Family is central to his retirement lifestyle. He and Cindy moved back to Georgia to be closer to her large family, enabling them to be deeply involved in familial activities. Their weekends are often highlighted by vibrant Sunday lunches hosted by Cindy's cousins, where the gatherings are as nourishing to the spirit as they are to the body. These family interactions are precious to Craig, reinforcing the familial connections that are a cornerstone of his happiness.
