help his mother take care of his dad. Having learned resilience and determination from his family and community, he managed to balance his concrete masonry work and caregiving, but was devastated when his dad, who was only in his early sixties, died. A few years later, Sean suffered a severe rotator cuff injury – made worse by years of ignoring a prior rotator cuff injury.“ When I was young, I didn’ t realize how serious my shoulder injury was, so I just pushed through and kept working without seeking any medical care,” he admits.“ For years, I’ d had trouble sleeping because it was so painful. In the end, I had to get the entire rotator cuff replaced and my doctor said I would be permanently disabled.”
On disability in 2019 while recovering from this major surgery, Sean finally decided to take his cousin’ s advice and get his contractor’ s license in order to go into business for himself. Despite the immense emotional and physical pain he was dealing with, Sean successfully completed the licensing exam and launched Depth Concrete in 2021. Around that time, he also lost his mother, leaving him feeling very alone.
Without his dad there, starting his business was a bittersweet moment.“ If my dad had been there, he would have been the first person to invest in my business – he was always there for me financially, emotionally and spiritually – so, it was a struggle to just keep going, but that’ s another thing my parents taught me – when times are hard, don’ t give up – just keep putting one foot in front of the other.”
