For most of his life, Sean has been a student of local history, learning from his Grandparents, their friends, and other local historians. In 1994, he combined his talent in the art of reproduction with his love of history to establish a local reproduction house, Greycloud Studios. This studio produces museum quality reproductions for historical reenactors. Currently, its international client list includes people who recreate many periods of history including but not limited to: Mediaeval Europe, Renaissance Europe, The Spanish Main, The American Revolution, The French & Indian War, The Civil War, The Great Mongol Horde, The American Old West, and The Fantasy Gaming Genres associated with these eras.
