Sean started his journey into the fitness industry after being named one of the "Top 2000 Finishers" in the 2000 Body-for-LIFE Challenge out of more than 1,000,000 worldwide entries. The next year he went on to win a national junior bodybuilding title.
Taking some time off the fitness competition scene himself, Sean then took to changing the lives of others as a personal trainer. Having never had a bodybuilding competitor finish out of a top 3 position and having trained several successful fitness, figure and fitness model competitors including Pro Fitness Model Michelle Hannan, has established Sean as one of the most sought after Personal Trainers in the local fitness industry. Sean has also always sought to educate himself as much as possible. In addition to being a Chancellor's Scholar in McMaster University's Kinesiology program, he has also gained the practical knowledge of working with and learning from some of the top fitness trainers and competitors in the world.
In 2005, Sean began working with another organization and brought the concept of Halloween Mayhem to the industry. With one of the most unique themes in the fitness show circuit, Halloween Mayhem became one of the most successful shows in the organization. Sean continued to run nearly 10 shows as part of the organization until late 2006. Some of his achievements include: working as the Event Director for two of the biggest shows on the world tour, securing a 1 hour television airing of Halloween Mayhem '05, being awarded the "Hamilton Celebrates VIP Award" from the Mayor of the City of Hamilton for bringing a successful event to Hamilton, establishing some of the most prominent main stream media coverage for competitors in the entire fitness industry and securing a promotional appearance for competitors and the fitness organization on the biggest radio show in the world, The Howard Stern Show. Above all else, Sean earned himself a reputation of honesty and someone who is always truly there for the competitors.
Sean still currently trains fitness competitors and combat athletes as the owner of Elite Fitness Training Systems. He is also currently a competitive boxer and nationally certified boxing coach. As the President of Ultimate Fitness Events, Sean can now bring forth his full vision for what a fitness competition should be!
