I'm Sean
I've grown up working for a family-owned small business in Middleburg, VA where I learned the importance of a strong work ethic from an early age. Building on my passion for all facets of business, I obtained a bachelor's and masters degree in Entrepreneurship from Cal State University, San Bernardino. After graduation, I joined the SBA's Small Business Development Center program and I've worked in the program in various position and at various educational institutions over the last decade. Now, I'm excited to take economic development to the next level with an innovative organization who shares the same passion for small business and entrepreneurship.
