September 2021 – Knight of the Month – Sean McCormack
Name: Sean McCormack
Born and Raised in: Born and raised in Poway
Children: My daughter Gianna is 12 years old and in 7th grade.
Occupation: I am a San Diego State University Graduate and have been employed in the medical equipment and supplies industry for over 10 years, currently with Lincare, an Oxygen and Respiratory Provider.
Why I joined the Knights: I joined the Knights of Columbus on October of 2009, at the advice of my Dad. My Dad told me that my life insurance policy that they purchased for me when I was born was going to expire. My Dad said to join the Knights and enroll in their Life Insurance policy. I did not know what I was getting into but I kept showing up. The Buddy Bishop Council supported Pancake Breakfast Fundraisers for “The Way Back”, a recovery home for men, and as a result it opened my eyes to the generous works of Charity, Fraternity, and Unity among the Council Knights. I have served in Knights of Columbus officer positions Inside Guard, Outside Guard, Warden, and now Lecturer.
What is one thing my friends probably don’t know about me? I enjoy sharing my time, talent, and treasure, with a few non-profit organizations, Wheelchair Dance Organization and Spinal Network. Both organizations empower those affected by Spinal Cord Injuries/Diagnosis and Neurological Conditions affecting mobility.
How long have I been a Parishioner of St. Gabriel? Parents Kevin and Linda joined Saint Gabriel’s in 1990.
