Way To Go Sean!
  

Sean Bridges receives employment supports at Total Wine and More, and he loves his job. He also enjoys getting around Baltimore and he's always going to interesting places and events. Last week, Sean was at Camden Yards for opening day and who should he bump into and ask for a photo op -- Governor Hogan himself.
