As a Business Innovation Expert, Sean brings his deep operational background and love of writing to his pursuit for the next big idea.

His insatiable curiosity fueled his passion for writing at an early age which lead him to writing scripts, music video treatments and a position as Senior Writer for a local magazine. As an analyst for a large national telecommunications company, Sean was heavily involved in nation-wide launches and developing processes for new product development and launches.

After plateauing in the operational space, Sean’s quest for his next challenge brought him to Trend Hunter where he continues to grow and takes on all new challenges with enthusiasm.

When he’s not communicating with clients or challenging the staff to recite his favorite Rap lyrics for candy, you can find him on Netflix, practicing his DJ skills or with his nose deep in an obscure Japanese comic book.
