My name is Sean Parauka and I was born and raised between Stratford and Orange. I graduated from Amity High School in and attended SCSU, where I graduated from with a major in Secondary Education, minor in History. After pursuing a career in education, I decided to change careers and began working for Curran Volkswagen in 2011. After seven years as a Sales Rep, I was promoted to Used-Car Manager. Outside of work, I'm a die-hard baseball fan and of the New York Yankees. I've visited over 20 MLB ballparks and am working on visiting all 30. I love Classic Rock and 1980s Hair Metal! Some of my favorite bands include: KISS, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Motley Crue, and Bon Jovi. I'm an avid traveler and am working towards visiting all 50 US states. Other passions of mine include going to concerts, breweries and wineries, trying new restaurants, video games, landscaping, and spending time with family and friends.

My nephew did all of the work for me so my involvement was minimal. The only hiccup was having a third party handle obtaining the plates which took some time. More
