I was born in Paisley in 1982, and spent most of my life growing up in Lochfield, Foxbar and Ferguslie. I also spent a few years in Falkirk.
I went to South Primary in Paisley, Carron Primary in Falkirk and Castlehead High, back in Paisley.
At 18 I left Scotland to study meteorology at Reading University.
My first job in meteorology was with the Met Office, working as a weather observer at Middle Wallop army air base in Hampshire.
I moved to ITV Weather working behind the scenes preparing and sending bulletins for the ITV regional broadcasters.
After a year with ITV, I became a broadcast assistant at the BBC, based at television centre in London. During my time at the BBC I became a regional broadcaster and acted as cover for the nations and regions. In my 3 years at the BBC I presented on television for most of the English regions, Wales and Northern Ireland.

I started working for STV as the sole weather presenter in August 2007, after the channel had a gap of several years without a presenter.
At STV I produce, and present 21 broadcasts a day. I have also relaunched the weather graphics three times, and have been part of the graphic development and testing process before going live.
I’m an ambassador for our TV charity, The STV Children’s Appeal and have raised money by cycling, running, walking and hiking my way around the country since it started in 2011.

In 2019 I was given my own TV show, ‘Sean’s Scotland’, where I took viewers on a journey around our beautiful country over the course of 7 weeks. The programme covered weather, environment, the people and wildlife. Sean's Scotland was STV's highest rating local programme for 3 years.

On the back of the success of Sean's Scotland I was asked to present our new year show - Sean's Very Scottish Hogmanay! We rang 2020 in with the highest Hogmanay viewing figures for 13 years.
