After three years of under grad studies Craig moved to Tempe, Arizona to study at a private architectural school P.I.T. With a passion for studies he was placed on the deans honor roll. From graduation Craig went to work for the architectural department at Embassy Suites located in Fashion Island, Newport Beach CA. Craig Tapley sought additional education and was accepted to SCI-ARC (Southern California Institute of Architecture). Studying space, light and form of the masters of architecture was extremely exciting.

Continuing to work as a project manager for several Laguna Beach Architects, he was able to participate in projects ranging from commercial malls, high-rise hotels, childcare facilities, hospitals and custom homes. With all scales of projects his favorite was producing scale models of a project for Hughes Aircraft with Noble/White Architects, the project is located on Rosecrans Ave., in the South Bay area. Craig Tapley formed a partnership with a fellow designer and moved to Kaihlua-Kona, Hawaii to design custom homes. Craig also had job offers in California so he moved back to gain experience in hospital design with DenZer architects. In 1990 a Mammoth Lakes based architect contacted Craig to come and facilitate project coordination on several custom homes. He has been working in Mammoth Lakes ever since, and has a passion for the Alpine environment and the lifestyle the Eastern Sierra has to offer.

Craig has been married for 14 years to his lovely wife Angie and they have three beautiful children.
