About Craig SINOVICH : Craig is a traveler, citizen of the world and single father who has raised his son alone from three years of age. He is encourages his special needs son to have wings and dream big by using his unique needs to fly away and change the world by educating others to use their specific needs to celebrate life by being different. His most loved pastime is family and enjoying family meals and conversation around it.
His greatest worldly achievements have been on the sporting stage, while in my opinion his greatest achievement is fighting and defeating addiction day by day.
His love and work with the poor, addicted, HIV positive and full blown Aids patients without mentioning it is inspiring and only a handful of people know he built a school with his own funds in one of the poorest areas in South Africa.
Craig is known as one of the strangest accountants around by his eccentric dress sense and one line remarks which often leave people in fits of laughter.
His love of public speaking and ability to speak off the cuff using and incredibly dry and somewhat dark sense of humour add to his incredible networking and marketing skills.
An often quiet man and deep thinker makes him unique when one sees him come to life in large crowds and in the art of negotiation and his use of language is to be desired.
Why he studied Law and Accounting while possessing uncanny creative ability in most fields is a mystery to all, even unto himself I believe. A man quick to point out his weaknesses while downplaying his strengths makes him a difficult character to read and he is known to make something out of nothing without anybody noticing. To conclude, Craig is a man with a constant smile on his face with either a book or newspaper in his hand.
