Sean worked, for a short period of time, at an insurance firm located at 111 Huntington Ave in Boston MA following his college career as an insurance salesman. Known as Executive Compensation Group, run by Novak Charter Oak Financial Services out of Springfield MA, the company's Boston office later moved to Liberty Square and all branches of the firm became known as Charter Oak Financial Services. This was the same firm that Ryan M. Nestor of Marblehead MA worked at while he was engaged in illegal management of client monies. As of November 2009 Nestor is serving a 3 year prison sentence in Massachusetts.
