CATCHLINE:
“A lovable boy next door who works at the library…but look deeper and he might just be the miscreant mounting a plan for revenge!” —Sean

A performer and nerd at heart, Sean’s passions past the stage include: playing board games, spending time outside, and making art with his friends.

Music and poetry are huge influences to Sean’s craft. Ever since the pandemic, he has begun combining these worlds to begin songwriting, too.

Recently, Sean has been getting really into film (cinematography), cooking, and exploring all that NYC has to offer.

My Story

Raised in Northern VA, Sean was first welcomed to performing arts through his community theater, The ARTFactory. He continued to star in shows there and at Charles J. Colgan Sr. high school until he traveled to Elon, NC.

In his collegiate years, Sean was a part of 6 Elon Main stage shows, 3 BFA Thesis Films, his filmed senior showcase, and other student led productions. Outside of performing some of Sean’s favorite experiences include: Taking his Entertainment Media Business Class, performing in his band The Interns, and traveling to London his Junior Year!

In his final semester at Elon, Sean was met by a crazy turn of events that included immediately moving to New York and performing as the Demogorgon of the original broadway production of Stranger Things: The First Shadow.

After mounting a broadway show and completing his degree remotely, Sean is so excited to continue to explore New York, make new friends, and say yes to new performance opportunities.
