Sean's favorite place to be is relaxing on a beach next to his fiancée.

Bo is a recent Wilkes University EE graduate. He began as intern and was hired full time in June 2022 as an Junior Electrical Design Engineer at Smith Miller Associates, studying to become EIT certified. Bo loves the field for its real-world applications of power electronics and power distribution, seeing the fruits of the company drafting and design work, and is looking forward to becoming proficient in the field, step by step. He loves the PA outdoors, staying healthy, and likes locally volunteering almost daily.
