Sean Wheeler is a survivor of pre-teen sex trafficking for almost five years. During that time he was used in child sexual abuse material. While his family moved away from that area, other abusers would find him until age 19 when he determined to no longer be used. In 2018 Sean founded Starfish Ministries in Colorado to provide a voice for boys in the public arena. He works directly with several other organizations and has been involved in lobbying Congress for pending legislation approval. He provides HT 101 and above trauma-informed training. Sean is also ordained and works in the prison ministry, even with convicted sex offenders. He has been interviewed on 100 Huntley Street in Toronto and the 700 Club. His story has been told in Psychology Today and other publications. Today over 6 million people world wide have heard his story.
