A Maine native, Sean has been at the Wendell Gilley Museum since 2017 after moving with his family from Williamstown, Massachusetts. There he spent two years working with three local museums (The Clark, Williams College Museum of Art and MASS MoCA) exploring how the museums could connect with local schools. For the prior eight years, Sean was on the left coast with the Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles, working internationally with museums and their historic collections. He holds a Masters Degree in Conservation from the University of Durham in Northern England.

Sean enjoys the flexibility of running a small museum. What he enjoys most about his job is the wealth of creativity that is part of his day with a full-time master artist on staff and a huge community of artists, members, and young people that are the unique Mount Desert Community. Watching certain distinctive seaside birds, like Cormorants and, in warmer climates, Pelicans is one way Sean connects to nature. He also enjoys hiking, camping, and taking walks with his family and two Rough Collies.
