Men To Watch Awards 2026 honors Craig Ames

Craig Ames is an entrepreneur, IT professional, author, and MBA candidate who is in the final stage of completing his Master of Business Administration (MBA), with graduation expected in early 2027. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree and has built a career spanning more than 25 years in information technology, supporting Fortune 500 organizations in executive support, systems administration, and end user technology.

In 2020, Craig survived a stroke that transformed his perspective on life and strengthened his commitment to serving others. Rather than allowing that experience to define him, he turned it into a purpose driven mission by founding Survivor Warrior, an organization dedicated to supporting stroke survivors, caregivers, and families through education, encouragement, and practical resources.

Craig is the author of the Survivor Warrior Journal, Survivor Warrior Planner, Survivor Warrior Recovery Milestone Guide, and Survivor Warrior Caregiver's Guide. Through these resources, he strives to inspire resilience, provide practical support, and remind others that recovery is possible.

Throughout his career, Craig has been passionate about leadership, technology, mentorship, and community service. He enjoys building meaningful relationships, sharing knowledge, and creating opportunities that help others grow personally and professionally. As a member of Black Leaders Worldwide, he looks forward to collaborating with leaders from around the world, expanding his network, and contributing to initiatives that create lasting impact.
