In 1998 at the age of eighteen, Sean accepted a golf scholarship to attend the University of South Florida in Tampa. While at USF he earned Academic All-American Status while graduating with a degree in management information systems.
As a collegiate player, Sean made frequent trips to the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Orlando to improve the mechanics of his game. It was during these lessons that Sean developed a great interest in the teachings of the game, which ultimately inspired him to join David Leadbetter and his teaching staff as a trainee in 1994. During his apprenticeship, Sean had the opportunity to watch and assist David Leadbetter with players such as Nick Price, Ernie Els, Nick Faldo and Charles Howell.
After completing his year long certification program, Sean began teaching golfers of all ages and abilities at several David Leadbetter European Academy locations, including Austria, Spain and Portugal. While in Europe Sean learned to speak German. He also was appointed to the Academy Director at the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Carvoeiro, Portugal.

Since returning to the United States, Sean has been teaching at David's Worldwide Headquarters at ChampionsGate. An avid triathlete, Sean maintains an exercise program that includes running, swimming, weightlifting and stretching.
