Sean grew up just outside of the city in Glenside, PA. Beginning his undergrad studies at Temple University in 2007, any of Sean's free time was spent exploring Philadelphia.

The breathtaking views from that roof are what ignited his love affair with the city. Periodically during college, Sean would lend a hand to contractors working in multifamily buildings in Center City. This experience led to an opportunity on the property management side of real estate; working closely with Ted Gay of George Gay Real Estate, Sean learned the ins and outs of property management and bookkeeping from a well-established third-generation business.
