Introducing Sean Cochrane, Campus Corps leader at Montana Tech of the UM (M-Tech) located in beautiful Butte, MT. Sean boldly made the move to western Montana all the way from Jacksonville, Florida where he recently received his undergraduate degree at Florida State University. The early winter has been quite a shock to this southerner, but Sean surprisingly seems to be adjusting to the Montana weather with relative ease. In fact, he has even cited the cooler climate as one of the things he was most looking forward in relocating to the Northwest. Adapting to new places is something that Sean has plenty of experience with; having grown up with a father in the Navy, his family grew accustomed to moving around rather frequently and found many different places to call home.
Although Sean ended up in Butte mostly by chance, the town seems to be a perfect fit for him. Sean is by nature a history buff and has found himself lucky to be in what many would consider Montana's most historically significant city. Sean has enjoyed having the opportunity to learn about the rich history of the town that was once referred to as "The Richest Hill on Earth" due to its abundance of copper deposits that drew people from all over the country and beyond. Furthermore, with Irish in his blood Sean's favorite holiday has always been St. Patrick’s Day, and fittingly enough, Butte just so happens to be home to Montana's biggest St. Patty's Day celebration. There's the luck of the Irish for you!
In his undergraduate studies Sean majored in History and plans to further his education next year by attending Law School at the University of Virginia. As you can probably guess from the photo above of Sean and his sister on the Dallas Cowboy's field, Sean is a big sports fan. During football season you can find him rooting for the Dallas Cowboys and in college ball for his alma mater, the Florida State Seminoles.
