Jeff Sinclair, President and Founder

In a bar in Mobile, AL after our first Bundesliga victory

Jeff first got the “Eiserner Virus” while living in Berlin in 2013, when a last minute trip to the Alte Försterei led him to ask some strangers “who the most important player is”. Several beer-soaked hours later, he had some new friends and a lifelong fever for the club from Berlin’s southeast. Since then, he’s been back as often as he can, especially if there’s a party train involved. His favorite Union memory is a toss-up between promotion in 2019 and the Stadtmeisterschaft later that year.

When he’s not screaming and chanting with the rest of the Waldseite, he likes to drink at Coe or help his friends in “Eisern Trotz Handicap”. It’s also hard to understate his love for the aforementioned party train. He currently watches games from his house in the D.C. Metro area, and is looking forward to establishing a Union bar in D.C. just as soon as he can.
