Unkovich was born in 1923 on the island of Korčula in present-day Croatia, and migrated to New Zealand with his parents in 1932, settling in Northland.[2] In 1951, he married Joy Auld in Auckland, and the couple went on to have two children.[2]
Unkovich started bowling at the Matamata Bowling Club, after moving to nearly Waharoa to establish a grocery business.[2] He played for the Okahu Bay Bowling Club in Auckland from the mid 1970s, and then the Rawhiti Club in Remuera in later years.[2]
He won a bronze medal in the triples at the 1980 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Melbourne.[3]
He won ten New Zealand National Bowls Championships titles, one singles (1979), one pairs (1991) with Ross Haresnape and eight fours titles between 1971 and 1986.[4]
