"The work of 'Our Katahdin' is very personal for me", says Sean. "All my roots are in the Katahdin region. I grew up in Millinocket, have family in all three towns and worked in Medway at Terry's Texaco in high school and college. I've been involved in innovation and economic development for most of my career, and have found the most common ingredient for success to be the extent to which people are willing to pull together to make things happen. The chances of success increase dramatically. This is why we started Our Katahdin.
