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.

My two sons continued growth.

What is your secret to uncovering trends?
Never get to old for anything. The minute you say “I don’t understand today’s (insert music, art, etc)" the wave will pass you by.
What do you enjoy most about Trend Hunter?
The way you can get lost in the website, finding great idea after great idea. That and we have some of the brightest most diverse minds in the city, all in one place.

I take my mind off of whatever I’m currently embroiled in and worry about something else.
What inspires or excites you?
New challenges and overcoming them. As well as the prospect that every new day is a new beginning and the fact that the next best day of my life is just around the corner.
Predict something awesome for 2020?
Movie theaters will morph into full-fledged immersive entertainment experiences. Think moving seats, interactive storytelling and….smell-o-vision!
