He has been recognized as a Super Lawyers Rising Star in employment law—an honor awarded to only the top 2.5% of attorneys under 40 in Florida. Sean is a proud University of Florida “Double Gator,” graduating cum laude with majors in Economics and Political Science (B.A., 2005) and cum laude from the University of Florida Levin College of Law (J.D., 2008).
