My name is Sean, I am a third generation baritone, and proud of it! My grandfather sang popular tunes of his day at weddings and social events throughout the interior of British Columbia. My father was a concert level pianist at UBC, and sang with the Vancouver Chamber Choir. As you would expect, I grew up singing. I started as a child soprano in family and church musical productions. Later in high school, my music teacher Janine Webster put together my first quartet "The Shadows” with three friends from my Jazz choir. In the fall of 1995, a roommate heard me singing in the shower and dragged me to a barbershop chorus rehearsal. That visit to the chorus resulted in the creation of my second quartet, “High Country Harmony” that stayed together for well over four years. By the time, I departed Kamloops in 2002, I had rejuvenated the local barbershop chorus, sung with the quartets “SARV”, “4 Ryme Sake”, “Powerhouse” and “Last One Standing”, attended Harmony College Northwest twice, and competed in several contests with my quartets. In 2001, I attended a seminar in Kamloops led by Charlie Metzger on directing technique. In 2003, I attended the first three months of Charlie Metzger's “Director of the Future” program. During my time as a director in training, I was able to direct the Gentlemen of Fortune in public performance. I have been leading the music program with the Voices of Harmony chorus since the summer of 2006, and look forward to bringing to them a positive, forward thinking approach to leadership and musicianship. I currently sing Lead with West Coast Fusion, the 2009 Division One Champions. I also enjoy singing with my wife in our quartet “Afterglow”, a hip, slick and cool foursome dedicated to excellence in public performance. One of my interests is promoting close harmony singing to youth - and moving my chorus and quartet closer to the choral world that I started in as a youth in high school. In Harmony Sean
