Bio

Sean was born outside of Boston and grew up in New Hampshire. He learned early in life the benefits of hard work, in high school he was a 4X state champion in Track and Field and a 2X state runner-up in Wrestling, finishing 4^th at the New England Wrestling Championships his senior year. In College he was a 4X Division 1 All-American at AU, finishing 4^th at the NCAA Championships 1500m.

Sean graduated from American University in Washington DC with a Bachelors of Science in Health Promotion and a Masters of Science in Health Promotion Management.  He maintains two of the top training certifications, NSCA-CSCS and NASM-CPT and additionally is certified for TRX suspension and TRX Group. His education is fundamental to his approach as a trainer. Sean believes training and coaching is both an art and a science and draws heavily from all the great teachers he has had throughout the years.

While working on his graduate degree he was also the Assistant Coach of both the Men’s and Women’s Track and Field and Cross Country teams. In this position he was charge of middle distance development and strength training for the entire program.  After finishing his education he was recruited by legendary running Coach Frank Gagliano to join the Nike Farm Team, a pro team training for the Olympics out of Stanford University. Eventually the team moved to Eugene Oregon and became the Nike Oregon Track Club Elite.  Running for Nike he competed in the 2004 US Olympic Trials in the 1500m, making the semi-finals. He represented the USA at the 2006 Penn Relays DMR USA vs The World, anchoring the team to a second place finish behind Team Kenya.  The same year he was 3^rd at the USA Indoor National Championships in the 1500m. He is a sub-four minute miler with a personal record of 3:58 and a 1500m PR of 3:38. He was the 273 American runner ever to break the four minute barrier.

After retiring from competitive running Sean focused his energy on another great love of his, training and coaching others.  For his own personal exercise he switched to Rock Climbing and has climbed at locations all over the world. Including classic spots like Yosemite and Fontainebleau France, and from the mountains of Peru and Nepal to the beaches of Tonsai Thailand and Rio de Janiero. He also enjoys parkour and competed on the TV show American Ninja Warrior, successfully navigating the course without falling but ironically failing to advance on time.
