The path that led Quique to WFDD is anything but linear. After moving from Peru to the U.S. at age 11, Quique picked up the guitar and an old boom box (complete with a tiny built-in microphone) and began recording music on cassette tapes. Though the lifelong plan was to pursue a career in something different altogether (visual arts), Quique switched gears last minute and attended Davidson College instead, majoring in Sociology. Afterward, he took another turn and earned a Master's degree in Counseling at Wake Forest University. Quique went on to work in community outreach with Latino families in the Old Town area of Winston-Salem. In 2012, Quique left the non-profit sector to devote himself to his passion in music composition, recording and performance; he also began to explore the craft of videography.One year prior to joining WFDD, the idea of working in radio crossed Quique's mind perhaps only in dreams. But in 2014, he found himself at WFDD's station for a Triad Arts interview about his album release. After asking Quique what the heck he was doing with his life and learning about his recent exploration with videography, Triad Arts' Executive Producer David Ford proposed a freelance pilot project: producing “Backstage with Triad Arts”, a video program that offers listeners the opportunity to visit the WFDD's website and take behind-the-scenes looks at arts events in the region (like the Eastern Music Festival, Phuzz Phest, Becca Stevens' studio album recording, SECCA collaborations with UNCSA, Merlefest, etc.).In 2015, Quique officially (and much to his happiness) joined the WFDD team. In addition to producing videos, you can hear Quique throughout the day announcing events happening in the Triad. He's also Contributing Editor for Triad Arts, where he puts his recording/editing skills to work.

His work has appeared on NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered, and APM's Marketplace.In his spare time, Sean plays tennis (reasonably well), golf (reasonably poorly), and scours local haunts for pinball machines to conquer.
