Sean McComb's rise to thought leadership in the realm of education started decades ago. Growing up outside of Philadelphia, what began as a comfortable childhood was later torn apart by strife. Facing chaos and despair at home, he turned to school as his sanctuary and found inspiration in extraordinary teachers. His experiences compelled him to go into education, and pay forward the gifts that he received.

During his 10 years at Patapsco High School & Center for the Arts in Baltimore County, Maryland, Sean became an integral member of an outstanding school and community. Sean's English courses are deep dives into the exploration of humanity through literature and building communication skills. He regularly led his students in community service projects and led the construction of the AVID college-preparatory program in his school.

AVID targets students in the academic middle who have college dreams and provides them a pathway and a partner to achieve them. It's through this program that AVID students have what every child needs, a champion: an adult in their life who values them, believes in them and expects great things from them until the child can come to expect those things of themselves.

Sean’s Challenge; Practice gratitude and take ten to fifteen minutes every day to write notes affirming others.

The 46-year old father of four had gone from living on food stamps to becoming the owner of his own construction company, and taking home $100k per year. His story is one that will inspire you, whether your goal is to become an entrepreneur or simply live life more frugally. Sean's success comes from achieving financial independence by focusing on what matters most

Sean McComb, from Food Stamps to 2014 National Teacher of the Year. Sean came from a poor family and didn't have an education when he was young. His parents were both alcoholics and had a lot of problems with their relationship. As a result, Sean was often left alone and had to help support them financially during his younger years.
