KELVIN SHAWN SEALEY CV 

Autobiography

There have been four simultaneous Kelvins clamoring about within my circuitous professional life, the best known being entrepreneur Kelvin, teacher and professor Kelvin, and student-explorer Kelvin. Those three have often been joined by the fourth Kelvin, a constant but underdeveloped presence: the artist, Kelvin. Collectively, they form the “True We.”

After uni, between 1983 and 1993, entrepreneur kelvin invested in real estate, managed a Canadian honey trading business, and began an education consulting practice. 

In 1993, after the passing of his mother, he joined his first school as an administrator, Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and educator Kelvin emerged. While working at Packer, he edited his first three books, started graduate school, developed his first talk show, began teaching media studies to undergraduates at Hunter College and history to undergraduates at York College, fell in love, and nurtured an appreciation for philanthropy and social enterprise. 

After five years at Packer, in the year 1999, entrepreneur Kelvin began his first technology company and his first charity, bought a house in Florida, spent too much time doing business in Silicon Valley, Las Vegas, and Costa Rica, and negotiated a quiet end to that first technology venture two years later. Beginning again in 2001, his intellectual property interest in a second technology venture was quickly bought out by his partner. Graduate school beckoned again and in 2002, its warmth enveloped student Kelvin in research and writing for the next four years. 

At Columbia, student Kelvin would produce his second talk show, Citizen: The Campus Talkshow, purchase more property, read too many books and write too many jargon-filled sentences. Nevertheless - or as a result - thesis defense succeeded in July 2006, after which time Kelvin fled to Florida to recover. Over the next five years, wandering Kelvin would edit two more books, consult to the Grenada mission to the United Nations, become a visiting scholar at Teachers College, start his third technology company in Grenada, W.I., adopt a puppy he called Bleu, marry and divorce, begin sculpting in steel and acrylic, and by 2011 restart life anew as educator Kelvin at St. Paul’s, an Episcopal boarding school in Concord, New Hampshire. His tenure there would close in 2017, opening again in Miami Country Day School that same year, close yet again in 2019 to begin again in Toronto at Dragon Academy only to devolve into pandemic strife, which would lead directly to entrepreneur Kelvin beginning CaST School and the entire CaST Portfolio in the depths of worldwide Covid-19 fear. 

Entrepreneur, educator, student, artist Kelvin runs CaST Portfolio today, Wednesday 3 March 2021. There is probably more to come.
