Concordia University, St. Paul Athletics

Leaving the men’s basketball program as Concordia’s all-time leading scorer, Craig Heiman helped guide the program to one of their most successful stretches ever with four straight seasons of 13 wins or more, including a program-best 21 wins in 2006-07.
 
The Marshall, Wisconsin native (Marshall High School) burst onto the scene as a freshman and finished as the second-leading scorer on a team that took third in the Northern Sun with a 13-5 mark in league play and a 21-8 mark overall while reaching the NSIC Tournament semifinal. Heiman took a big step forward in year two as he led the conference in scoring while pushing the team to another top-four finish.
 
The strong run continued from there as the team never finished below .500 in conference play during his time on campus, tallying a 44-32 record in the NSIC over his four seasons as a Golden Bear. Heiman nearly repeated as the NSIC’s leading scorer in his junior season as his 17.7 points per game put him second in the league.
 
Matching his success on the court, Heiman was a three-time NSIC All-Academic pick while earning a bachelor’s degree in finance from Concordia. He began his career as a sales representative at ADP in Bloomington before moving to his current employer, Smith & Nephew, where he manages 10 sales managers across three states.
 
After moving to Chicago and then to San Francisco, Craig moved back to the Twin Cities in 2019 where he currently resides in Lakeville with his wife, Natalie, and daughter, Hadley.
