Christopher St. John “Sinjin” Smith is the Vice President of Miramar Brands Group, Inc. (:”Miramar”). Sinjin is responsible for the long-term growth and profitability of Miramar, and its strategic direction. Sinjin is the greatest beach volleyball player in the history of the sport. Sinjin’s accomplishments as a player earned him a place in both the International Volleyball Hall of Fame and the Beach Volleyball Hall of Fame. He and longtime partner Randy Stoklos won more professional beach tournaments as a team (114) than anyone before or since and Sinjin’s 139 career victories rank second all-time among individual players. He has won multiple World Championships, “King of the Beach” Invitationals, Manhattan Beach Opens and has represented the United States in the Olympic games. Sinjin played for the USA Indoor National Team for 4 years and was a collegiate All-American at UCLA where he won two National Championships and a finals MVP for the Bruins. He was the second volleyball player ever inducted into the UCLA Hall of Fame. In his youth, Sinjin was a fixture at legendary Sorrento Beach where he learned the game from pioneers like Ron Von Hagen and Gene Selznick. Sinjin is a longtime resident of Pacific Palisades where he lives with his wife, Patty, and the couple’s three children, Hagen, Stanton and Sinjin, Jr.
For all his records as a beach volleyball player, Sinjin is perhaps just as well known for his service to the game off the court. Author, commentator, businessman, entrepreneur, actor, coach, ambassador—even model—Sinjin has been a cultural force in the sport his entire life. He is “beach royalty”. Sinjin has made appearances in television series, commercials and motion pictures, including the hit TV show Magnum P.I. and the Tri-Star feature film Side Out. Sinjin has appeared on the covers and pages of many newspapers and magazines worldwide, including The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, People Magazine (one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the world through time) Esquire and Volleyball Magazine. Now retired from active competition, Sinjin is called upon regularly to provide commentary for media outlets such as NBC Sports, Turner Sports, Fox Sports Net and ESPN2.
Sinjin is a USVBA All-American and former member of the Board of Directors at USA Volleyball, as an athlete representative. He has served as President of the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) and as the President of the FIVB’s Beach Volleyball World Council. Currently, Sinjin is a member of the FIVB Beach Volleyball Commission presiding over the sport in over 219 member countries including the Olympic and International Games. He is also a former member of the Board of Directors for the Big Brothers, Big Sisters organization as well as the United States Youth Volleyball League (USYVL.)
As Master Coach of SinjinVolleyball, Sinjin hopes to share the knowledge and experience he’s accumulated over a lifetime dedicated to the sport with the next generation of athletes, parents and coaches.
Sinjin lives in Santa Monica with his beautiful wife Patty and their three sons, Hagen, Stanton and Sinjin Jr.
