Jaime Sinclair

Jaime Sinclair, 38, is a philanthropist and investment banker. She primarily manages investments at Cambridge Dynamics, an applied genetics research and engineering company based in Boston. For several years, she worked as a pharma research strategist at Wexler Katz investment bank in New York.

The only child of John and Cecilia Creed, Jaime is heir to the Creed Distillers Corporation, and granddaughter of Jameson Creed. Educated in Boston, she initially pursued a career in medicine and public health. She moved to New York where she rose to the highest levels within Investment Research at Wexler. She met her husband Michael on 9/11. Working with Kemper Fitzpatrick’s surviving families, she founded Tuesday's Heart Beat.  

Jaime's mother, Cecilia, died in 2001 after being hit by a livery cab while walking her dog. Jaime and her father are estranged. Following her husband Michael's terminal diagnosis, she made a life-altering decision to seek an unlikely cure for his disease.

Michael Sinclair

Michael Sinclair, 43, is a lawyer and retired fire fighter. He is the Principal of Sinclair & Associates, a private global security management and counter-intelligence consulting group based in Boston. A native New Yorker and decorated fire fighter, he was among the first responders on 9/11.

In 2001, he was appointed Deputy Public Safety Investigator for The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. He was widely criticized for his conclusions that systemic turf battles between New York’s public safety agencies resulted in a breakdown of communication efforts among first responders on 9/11.

He graduated with honors from Columbia Law School, before joining the offices of the Manhattan District Attorney. As a prosecutor, he managed a distinguished career prosecuting mob bosses, including members of the Parisi crime family, eventually earning the nickname "Mickey Sin." He was instrumental in the recovery of billions of investor dollars lost in the housing crisis. Michael and his wife, Jaime relocated to Boston to be closer to Cambridge Dynamics.

Recently, he informed his wife that he'd been diagnosed as a live carrier of Vescatur's Irony, a rare and fatal disease. "One in eighty million," according to statistics on reported cases. He and Jaime separated at his insistence. Because of the pathology of the disease, Michael's appearance would deteriorate almost overnight, although his body functions would power down more slowly. He chose to live the remainder of his days in isolation, moving to an undisclosed medical facility in the EU.
