About Sean


Sean was born in 1978 on a US Air Force base in England. Legend has it his mother visited a movie theater in London not long before he was due, and Sean got to hear Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope shortly after it arrived in the UK. It’s said that he kicked wildly when he heard John Williams’s now-famous score, and it must be true—although the kicking stopped (mostly), to this day, Sean still gets goosebumps every time he hears that wonderful music.

Sean did most of his growing up (or aging, at least) in Colorado. During his school years he was a mediocre athlete, a better-than-average student, and a terrible dancer. Sean has a degree in Economics, another in Engineering and Technology Management, and an eclectic mix of things on his resume. He taught English in Vietnam, was a gigging musician in Minnesota, and once co-owned a professional pet care business. Along with Writer, Sean's curriculum vitae also includes Software Engineer.

Currently, Sean lives in sunny California with his wife, a miniature poodle named Col, and a half Chihuahua half Jack Russell terrier who answers to the name of Etta (unless she’s distracted by food). Sadly, time has done little for Sean's athletic prowess, but his dancing has improved. When he's not writing, you can find him riding his motorcycle, listening to music, writing code, or geeking out with a good movie or video game.
