A two-time guest editor for Clinics, Craig was born in Michigan, received his undergraduate and Medical School training at the University of Michigan, and subsequently performed his General Surgery Residency training at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. He even went back to Ann Arbor to complete a Surgical Critical Care and ECMO fellowship, prior to leaving the great state and completing his Colon and Rectal Surgery Residency training at the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans, LA. Following this, he ventured back to MI, where he has risen through the ranks at Henry Ford Hospital, currently serving as the Associate Program Director (PD) for the General Surgery Residency and Colon and Rectal Surgery Fellowship, Director of the Center for Simulation, Education and Research, Division Head of Colorectal Surgery, and Vice-Chair of Clinical Operations.

On behalf of the readers and staff of Clinics of Colon and Rectal Surgery, I sincerely thank Dr. Reickert for serving as a Guest Editor and for providing us with a superb issue on approaches and treatment to the patient with stage IV colorectal cancer.
