About
Sean is a graduate of the University of Michigan where he studied music performance as a classically trained bass player. Sean moved to Chicago in 1985 to attend Loyola of Chicago School of Law. As soon as he arrived, he joined an all original rock band that played extensively all over Chicago and toured nationally. This is what started it all. Sean’s first job out of law school was as an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Illinois where he specialized in death and abuse cases in nursing homes. He then went to work for the United States Environmental Protection Agency specializing in toxic and hazardous waste litigation. All the while, he pursued both music and his entrepreneurial passion. In 1992 he opened Sweet Alice, a small but hip tavern in the Ukrainian Village. Next he opened Delilah’s in Lincoln Park, which to this day is home to the best whiskey selection in the City. After that was Double Door where he both booked the club and closed each show while working at the USEPA. After that, Sean opened several bars in Wrigleyville and then returned to Wicker Park where he opened Debonair Social Club, a video dance club and Santullo’s, a pizzeria that has been voted in the top 10 pizzas multiple times by Chicago magazine. After leaving USEPA, Sean started several companies. In 1997, Sean started GenX, a video streaming company. GenX regularly streamed concerts live from Double Door and it shot and streamed the Presidential Easter egg hunt live from the White House lawn and also the Smashing Pumpkins live from St. Andrews Hall in Detroit which at the time was the largest and most visited on line event in history. He then started Slice Music that allowed for the live collaboration between artists, musicians and DJs anywhere in the world in real time. Through it all music was Sean’s passion and is why to this day Sean continues to perform in his band the Avondale Ramblers and most importantly is reopening Double Door.Company Spotlight in Tech
