Sean is the creator of one of the most successful outreaches to young people in Jacksonville called YouthQuake Live. YouthQuake Live is best described as a Christian version of Saturday Night Live, featuring comedy skits, music, and other entertainment geared for teenagers and performed and produced by teenagers. At their first show in 1995 they had a cast of 12 and an audience of 40. They dreamed of one day performing for 500 people. As YouthQuake Live now enters its 8th season, it regularly reaches audiences of 2500-3500 people with a cast of over 150, six drama teams, two bands, a tech crew, a dance team, a ministry team and 12 interns. This year, YQL Radio hits the air with a three-hour interactive radio show every Saturday night on FM 88.1.

Sean's passion is to see young people established in the purpose and destiny that God has for their individual lives and for their generation. He believes that a new breed of teenagers is emerging. They are a generation looking for a cause worth giving their lives for; a generation poised to change the world.

Sean has traveled the world, visiting 12 countries in mission work, impacting teenagers wherever he has gone. He is currently the Pastor of Family Development at Christ the Redeemer Church. Sean and his wife Barbara, reside in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, with their three children, Gabriel, Lydia, and Josiah.
