Today we’re shining the spotlight on Craig Praska  

Craig has been part of the Gilcrest/Jewett Lumber Coralville team for an incredible 24 years. He started in the yard pulling loads as a yard worker and has grown into his current role as a driver, helping deliver materials that keep projects moving. 

A typical day for Craig starts with loading up his truck and making deliveries. One of the things he enjoys most about his job is getting to go to many different places. 

What Craig appreciates most about working at GJ is how the team works together. His favorite product to deliver is cabinets, and he’s most proud of working through situations and making them right. 

A few fun facts about Craig: 

  • Favorite local restaurant: Coaches Corner 
  • Go-to lunch order: Taco Bell 
  • Favorite season: Summer 
  • Bucket list item: Visit Hawaii 
  • Favorite place he’s traveled: Canada 
  • Favorite hobby/weekend activity: Going to races and spending time with family 

Thank you, Craig, for your dedication and 24 years of being part of the team!
