This is a toughie. Sean is both a good friend and long-time co-worker. In the summer of 2008, six months after the below entry was written, Sean found an opportunity at a company that neither he nor I could imagine him passing up. Despite my selfish desire to keep him here, it was clear to me that this move was the best possible thing for Sean's career.

Given his history with Farstar, I couldn't bear deleting his biography from the website. We miss him, but he's still very much here in spirit.

So, keeping in mind that the below entry was written prior to his departure, here is that entry - left intact.

Sean here.

I've been with Farstar since it was just a twinkle in Kevin's eye. I first met and worked with Kevin way back in 2000, when we were both foot soldiers on the silicon battlefield of the dot-com boom. After we found ourselves unemployed, then employed, then quickly unemployed again, we decided to buck the system and just work for ourselves. That choice ultimately led to Farstar.

I have no idea what my actual title is, or even if I have one. I'm kind of the local mad scientist. I'm a developer, so sure, I work on projects. But I'm at my best when I'm left to my own devices to just run amok and come up with cool stuff. I'm a tinkerer. A crackpot inventor. A problem solver. Doc Brown to Kevin's Marty McFly (although he's older than me).

When I'm not working, I do all kinds of other stuff. I build, fix, repair, and restore things. From furniture to fondue. From cakes to Camaros. I'm pretty good with a pencil, a lump of clay, a rolling pin, or a nail gun. Often at the same time.

I also have half a sled team currently living with me – four Siberian Huskies. Three are mine and I'm taking foster care of another. We're hoping to find him a forever home pretty soon.

Although he claimed to have no title, Sean was our Lead Developer and was the technical brain behind the Lead Machine. At the time of his departure, he was the longest-tenured Farstarian.
