Sean is from Brampton, Ontario. He is an ardent self-advocate in his community. He was diagnosed with an intellectual disability at a young age but has worked hard in his life and has been living independently for twenty plus years now. Throughout that time, he has also made sure to speak out and stand up not just for himself but for other marginalized groups that he is passionate about as well.

Sean is a two-time graduate of the crime prevention program run by Peel Regional police and Brampton Caledon Community Living and has helped to run the program with the officers involved in years past, locally and in Ottawa and Kingston. He is articulate in ASL, has been a founding member of the self-advocates group at BCCL, as well as a member, former secretary, and two-time president of their Board of Directors for many years.
