Sean is a photographer, painter, poet, fiction writer, and award winning web designer who was on That’s Incredible during the great Rubik’s cube-a-thon. He has several college degrees, and one of his web sites, Metaplanets, has been featured on the BBC’s top technology show.

He has worked on many web projects for a variety of organizations from mom and pop businesses to Fortune 100 companies, and was asked by Joseph Lowerey to assist in the writing of the Dreamweaver Ultradev Bible.

Besides web design and development, his professional experience includes management, teaching writing skills at the university level, editing papers for scholarly journals, including papers for the Economic Minister of Peru, and research for the Department of Justice. He takes pride in the fact that he first ate oysters Rockefeller with a man who first ate oysters Rockefeller with Nelson Rockefeller.

Sean enjoys swimming, fishing, museums, comedy, and lasagne. He has walked the Ginza in Tokyo, sank the eight ball off the break three consecutive times in a pool hall in British Columbia, climbed a pyramid in the Yucatan, camped in the Dakota Badlands, watched the ice calve in Glacier Bay, hunted for buried treasure, cooked a hot dog with nothing but a few pie plates and the sun, has seen Manchuria, and cruised through the Bering Strait and all the way to the Laptev Sea where he saw humongous icebergs and ate a shrimp the size of a full grown squirrel. In his spare time he is trying to find out what it is that turtles do when they think no one is looking.

 

Genetic History

More information than you need to know

On his father’s side, Y-DNA testing shows him descended from Niall Noígíallach, son of Eochaid Mugmedón, an Irish king, the eponymous ancestor of the Uí Néill kindred who dominated Ireland from the 6th century to the 10th century.

Oh! Royalty, you say? This is not surprising. One in 12 Irishmen carry his genetic fingerprint, with the percentage being higher than 20% in northern Ireland. We’re all descended from royalty, pig farmers, and an African woman nicknamed Lucy.

On his mother’s side, tests show the Haplogroup I subclaude R1a, specifically Norse Vikings that settled (invaded) Ireland.

I gave wine to friends and family (it was a good year). This is the label.
