After graduating he launched his business, Bitknight Designs, which enabled him to sell art to fellow nerds who did not realize they needed it. Once his walls are down, Sean is known to be one the silliest and most heartfelt nerds you can meet. These days, he is training as a barista so he can confidently open his own tea store/coffee bar.
