As a young boy Sean wrote compulsively, winning many awards for his poetry and short stories. Sean started writing plays seriously when he was twenty eight, much due to the encouragement of the playwright Aodhan Madden. Noah and the Tower Flower was his first play, and was produced by the Fishamble Theatre Company at the Axis Theatre, Ballymun in April 2007. Noah and the Tower Flower won Sean The Irish Times Best New Play Award and The Stewart Parker Trust Award. for Best Newcomer. As part of the award the play was given a reading in New York.  

Sean is currently developing a new piece for Druid Theatre Company entitled, Donkey do Dub. He has also been commissioned to write a four part T.V. series for Accomplice/Samson Films.  

Sean grew up and is living in Artane. From the age of 20 to 25 Sean taught tennis in various primary schools in Dublin, and in under privileged areas. It was a very taxing profession but one where he inherited a whole pile of amazing stories. Apart from writing, Sean is a huge film fan, easily clocking up 15 films a week.  His favourite Irish writers include Dermot Bolger, Tom Murphy, Mark O' Rowe, Owen McCafferty. Outside Ireland, he admires the work of Richard Price, Charles Bukowski, John Fante, David Rabe, and Ken Kesey.
