Sean’s current area of focus is multifamily and commercial real estate development in British Columbia and Washington state. Previously, he spent 15 years working as a lawyer in Vancouver where he maintained a civil litigation practice. He has also served on boards in both the non-profit and for-profit spaces.
Sean had the opportunity to visit the operations of Ally’s Nepal partner in 2022. Seeing the restorative work being done there—and the hope it is creating—caused him to want to get more involved.
With his background in law and business, Sean is looking forward to leveraging his experience to contribute to Ally’s mission.
