In 2009, Sean joined the US Marines and served in the infantry. In 2011, Sean deployed to Sangin Valley, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. In 2013, Sean decided to extend his contract of service for the opportunity to go back to Afghanistanwith his unit. This time he served in Garmsir, Helmand Province, Afghanistan. While being tasked to preform aerial and ground interdiction, Sean led his team on numerous operations. In 2014, he left the Marines and took the civil service test and was fortunate enough to be selected by the Morris County Sheriff’s Office. During that time, he worked with the Morris County Prosecutors Office narcotics division.
In 2014-2018 Sean started losing guys he was deployed with to suicide. He has now lost more friends to Suicide than he has in Combat. While he searched himself for his new purpose, he dedicated his time to trying to help prevent veteran suicide. In 2015, he started working at a New Jersey Police Department by serving as a Patrolman.
He has made it his mission and passion to help others, aquality he gained from his family. In 2024, He opened Abrusci’s Coffee in Budd Lake, New Jersey.
He learned that Coffee is what made all the above possible. It wasn’t just about caffeine to get through long days, but the sense of community provided by gathering around the ritual of serving coffee, and the opportunity it provided to take a moment to brainstorm how to push through obstacles, decompress and talk about what just happened.
In Law Enforcement he saw how coffee brought everyone together to subtract themselves from what call or operation they just had. Coffee also brings everyone together to discuss future plans or calls.
