Craig Ferguson - Owner:
Craig started welding in 1982. He built his 1st trailer (A 53' Carhauler) When he was still in school for his parents to haul their vehicles. Craig took welding class in school and credits John Hobbs his Ag teacher for instilling his love for welding. Craig graduated in 1984 from Dover -Eyota High School, bought his 1st welder and cutting torch and went to work. He would weld during the day and drive grain truck at night. He Started buying and selling trailers in 1986.
In 1987, Craig had an excellent year. He married his high school sweetheart Sue Benedett and in 1989 they had their one and only son Cole. Craig & Sue live outside St Charles. Neither fell to far away from the nest.
Craig has developed that little welding shop into 4 different businesses that Ferguson Enterprises is today. Though he does not get a chance to weld very often anymore, his time is spent on the phone, selling trailers, and keeping things running smoothly. Once in a while he sneaks in time to do the thing that started the ball rolling, welding.
In his free time Craig enjoys riding his Harley, doing yard work and just plain relaxing.
