# Early Life & Education  
  
Sean Kelly grew up in Bridgewater, New Jersey, US, and graduated from Bridgewater-Raritan High School. He has considered himself an entrepreneur and in elementary school would sell candy, Pokémon cards, crazy bones, and whatever else he could get his hands on.  
  
At one point in 7th grade, he was suspended from school because his classmates preferred Kelly's candy over the school's vending machines, undercutting the school's profits.  
  
Kelly dropped out of college during his sophomore year to work on Jersey Champs full time; the company is now a multi-million dollar company.[\[5\]](#cite-id-klthuhz0mpi)  
  
Kelly taught himself business by watching e-commerce and business-related videos of Tai Lopez, [Gary Vaynerchuk](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gary-vaynerchuk), Ezra Firestone, Jon Mac, Ben Malol, Patrick Bet-David, Evan Carmichael, Sam Ovens and Grant Cardone.  
  
# Career  
  
Kelly first started out in [crypto ](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency)by investing his money into small market cap [altcoins](https://iq.wiki/wiki/altcoin) and bringing like-minded individuals together he created a communication channel that includes celebrity rappers like Ugly God and business owners who all have $1 million dollars in [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency). Later on, from small market cap coins he started dabbling with [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) projects.[\[4\]](#cite-id-bk6d4h8qw5)  
  
Kelly launched Jersey Champs in May 2016 out of his college dorm room at Rutgers University.  He started with $1,000 and took in pre-orders for his first jersey and sold all 100 jerseys within the first week. Utilizing his experience in business, Kelly contributed to several websites including Business.com, BuzzFeed, Kivo Daily, Thrive Global, MillBuzz, Awaken The Greatness, Future Sharks & Succeed. Combining hip-hop culture and trending memes with the world of jerseys, Kelly collaborates with a team of independent graphic designers he found on Instagram and Behance to create the final product. Some popular Jersey concepts include Harambe, Trump, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Flint Tropics, Shanghai Sharks and more.  
  
Kelly had several struggles in the early days of Jersey Champs. During Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2016, Jersey Champs had a massive increase in demand and were a month late on orders, resulting in chargebacks and refunds.  Also in 2016, the music festival Neon Desert ordered 100 jerseys and never paid for them upon receival. Kelly learned from these experiences and made the proper adjustments to his business, such as moving to Shopify and never sending jerseys without a down payment.  Jersey Champs has since grown to become one of the largest sports jersey companies in North America.  
  
In April 2020, Sean Kelly launched PPE America during the pandemic to sell N-95 masks. He built this business in 2020 with only two employees.[\[2\]](#cite-id-j086dkp1qp)

In April 2022, Kelly sold his [NFT](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft) marketing company, NFT Gorillas to InfiniteWorld. [\[1\]](#cite-id-rrouuplyod)
