Who is Sean Kopen?
My life has been absorbed in marketing for years, but as I’ve become a husband and a father to two wonderful girls, my life has become more split. There’s a professional side that is ambitious and determined to be the best at whatever I apply myself to. The other side is no less focused on being the best I can for my family. Both have shaped me tremendously, and both continue to evolve.
The Sean.
I still call myself a storyteller after all these years. Over a decade spent in Edmonton doing marketing, sales, management and writing; I’ve built an interesting blend of expertise.
Marketing has always appealed to me because of the content. I almost became a journalist, but advertising seemed to intrigue me the most. Nothing brings me back a sense of nostalgia like old TV commercials.
Managing people and mentoring young professionals has also emerged as a passion of mine. My management roles have involved so much hiring and team building, that I naturally find myself drawn towards helping people set and achieve personal goals.
The Kopen.
Husband, gamer, athlete and father; the perfect romantic storytelling mix I would say. It does feel like as time has gone on, more of these activities centre around being a father, and I don’t mind that at all.
Writing has always been a core element of my life because of how important stories and humour are to me. I love art, music and literature; all the wonderful luxuries I find enjoyable in life. Sharing these loves with my kids has been an absolute joy.
A great thanks has to go out to all the people (teachers, friends, family) who have always encouraged me to do the things I find fun. I wouldn’t trade these relationships for anything.
