When Sean was born doctors predicted he would not to survive past birth because of a rare bone disorder that stunted his growth and caused his bones to be extremely fragile. Despite these challenges, Sean has taken a stand for a quality of life that has reached millions of people around the world, including Sir Richard Branson, President Clinton, and his Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Sean appeared on everything from The Oprah Show to Jimmy Kimmel to Youtube videos with millions of views. The Biography Channel did an hour feature on his life called, "Three Foot Giant."
