Currently, he and his husband, Sean Mahon (a native Dubliner), live between New York and Dublin. “Growing up in Holyoke, I have always been proud of my Irish heritage and the values and work ethic it has taught me,” he says. “Now, living in Dublin, I can actually see those fundamental traits in the Irish people.”

Sean obtained his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.B.A. from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, where he also sits on the European advisory board. He holds membership with the Irish Network NYC and Irish Network Dublin.
