    Tank Sinatra

    Tank Sinatra is a general contractor by trade. After his baby sister’s life was derailed and ravaged by identity theft, her struggles to live a normal life ignited in Tank a passion for learning about identity theft and teaching students and adults how to protect themselves. Using his workshops to “cultivate a culture of Identity Theft Self-Defense”, Tank has interwoven singing into his presentations and has since been dazzling small audiences with a “delightful combination of incredible identity theft knowledge, and incredibly mediocre singing!” Calling himself “The World’s Worst Singer, But The World's Best Identity Theft Singer”, Tank is a weekly contributor to www.RealClearIDTheft.com, and is currently leading a crusade to provide Texas foster care children with identity theft protection and workshops. You can follow Tank’s crusade at www.Facebook.com/40Gigsin40Days . Tank operates out of Austin and Houston Texas, USA.
