Sean is a laidback guy, who's main goal in life is to have as much fun as possible in his short time on Earth. When he's not working at his dream job as a nightclub bartender, you can often find him on the other side of the bar or skating, surfing or "generally kicking around" with his close friends.

''They always tell you, work a job you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life. Well, I love booze and I love a good party, so naturally, all I ever wanted to be was a bartender. I got a job in some dingy worker's bar right out of high school and it was miserable, God, I hated it! I had a whole crisis of faith, dropped out of the workforce for a while, made some bad choices, did a tonne of drugs, wound up in a bit of trouble with the boys in blue. Eventually, at twenty-five, I took a good hard look in the mirror and thought "I've gotta get my act together", thankfully, after months of trying, I landed my current job and I've worked my butt off to keep it ever since. I tell you man, I love it so much, it has really helped me get back on my feet.''

Sean comes from a large family, he is the middle child of five boys. His mother and father are avid campers and Sean claims that these twice-yearly family camping trips to all over the country have him prepared for the game of Survivor.

''I am a city boy through and through, don't get me wrong about that, I love my creature comforts. There's something very primal and very challenging about stripping that all back and getting back to the bare basics that I just love. As with the camping trips, I just need to remind myself that Survivor has an end, I can tough it out, I'm competitive and I'll be home soon. You won't break my spirit, trust me on that.''

Sean is also a father, with a five year-old daughter named Chloe. He hopes to win the money and be able to provide for both of their futures.

''When my ex fell pregnant, we were both in a really bad place, trying to live that 'party lifestyle', but she got clean for the sake of our unborn child and I just refused. I'm not proud to say that I was a terrible partner and a worse father in Chloe's early years. But man, that girl means the world to me, she's the reason I got clean. It took a lot of healing but she's back in my life and I see her as often as I can. Her mother and I are both in better, healthy relationships and we're learning how to co-parent, life is good, but a million bucks would make it that whole lot sweeter.''
