Sean grew up in Caledon and started his athletic career as a swimmer at the age of eight. Following Simon Whitfield's Gold Medal victory at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Sean was inspired to take up triathlon. Sean has been racing as a professional triathlete for 9 years, including during his degree studies at McMaster University.
