Sean Wilkinson is a principal of a design firm and goes to a lot of important meetings. He holds a BFA from Maine College of Art and is a founder of PICNIC Music and Arts Festival. His dad being an English professor and frustrated writer, literary dreams have always been encouraged and forced upon him. He won the Brewer Young Author’s Award in 1985 and wore a clip-on tie to the event. He has written one-point-five terrible novels as part of National Novel Writing Month and one of them is about working on a boat. He lives in Parkside with his girlfriend (also a designer) where the Seadogs fireworks light up his backyard, which gives a real Oliver Stone feel to late night parties on hot summer nights.
