Before finding his footing in the culinary industry Chef Sean was climbing the proverbial ladder in the fast and ruthless Film industry.

In 2007 Hollywood’s writer’s guild went on 100 days of strike. Not willing to cross the picket lines and struggling to make ends meet, he decided to find other sources of income. After a short stint in office work, he immediately decided to never again work a job that he wasn’t passionate about. Sean has two passions in life, Film and Food. Soon he enrolled himself at Le Cordon Bleu School of Culinary Arts.

After graduation he was presented with the opportunity to study abroad. It was a no- brainer. He shipped off to Les Baux de Provence, France where he received an uber intense education of hi-end Gastronomy and classic French cuisine. Sean studied under renowned Chefs, Michel Hulin, at La Cabro d’Or and Jean-Andre Charial at L’ Oustau de Baumaniere, a three Michelin starred restaurant.

A year later he found himself in the middle of the Caribbean, working for the ever- tabooed Club Med. During this time, he took advantage of his opportunities to mingle amongst the locals who willingly invited him into their homes and into the local kitchens to learn their distinct flavor profiles and preparation techniques.

Sean returned stateside in 2012 and since has assisted in the opening and success of some of LA’s hottest restaurants. Including Wally’s Vinoteca Beverly Hills, Le Petit Paris DTLA, and Beauty and Essex Hollywood, Led by Celebrity Chef, Chris Santos.

The Covid-19 Pandemic forced Sean to make yet another change in his career trajectory. Sean joined Mint Personal Chef Services in late 2020 and began serving private high-net-worth clients. Everything from private parties to weekly meal prep, Sean delivers a smorgasbord of courses from around the globe.

Currently, Sean is serving as the Executive Chef at The Good Life Café, A startup restaurant located in the city of Lomita, CA. The café serves a nice mixture of Caribbean, American and Seafood.

When he is not in the kitchen feeding hungry guests. Sean can be found somewhere on set, feeding his other passion.
