Sean Roney


Biography

Avid fan of reading, nerdistry and pizza. I love to write and photograph, as well, and do so everyday as I work in journalism. I have taken up painting again, as well.

I grew up in California's central coast region. Living almost halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco puts me out in a wonderland of agriculture, forests and Pacific Ocean rocky beaches. It's a great place for inspiration.
