After graduating with a B.A. in Economics in 2007, Sean thought better of working in a bank and moved to South Lake Tahoe, CA. A skier since childhood, he was excited at the opportunity to actually live in the mountains. A few months into his new mountain life, while waiting for the snow to fly, a friend took him rock climbing for the first time. Since then, he's been pursuing these complementary passions like it's his job. Between his actual profession as a drone pilot for motion productions, he loves skiing Eastern Sierra Giants, free climbing on El Capitan, and sport climbing anywhere in the world.
