Early Life

Sean Spicer was born Sean Michael Spicer on September 23, 1971, in Manhasset, New York. He is the son of Michael and Kathryn Spicer, and he was born at North Shore Hospital when his parents were living in Port Washington, New York. Sean grew up in Rhode Island, where his father worked as an insurance agent, and his mother manages Brown University's East Asian studies department. Spicer attended the Catholic boarding school Portsmouth Abbey School, and in high school, he began volunteering for local political campaigns. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in government from Connecticut College in 1993, and he was a student senator there. Sean later enrolled at the Naval War College, where he earned a master's degree in national security and strategic studies in 2012. After college, Spicer worked on political campaigns for Republicans Mike Pappas, Frank LoBiondo, Clay Shaw, and Mark Foley. In 1999, he became a public affairs officer with the United States Navy Reserve; as of this writing, his rank is Captain.

Career

In the early 2000s, Spicer worked as the House Government Reform Committee's communications director and the National Republican Congressional Committee's director of incumbent retention. He was the House Budget Committee's spokesman and communications director from 2003 to 2005, then he served as the Republican Conference of the U.S. House of Representatives' communications director. From 2006 to 2009, Sean worked in President George W. Bush's administration as the Office of the United States Trade Representative's assistant for media and public affairs.

In the 2004 presidential election, he was an elector from Virginia. Spicer co-founded the public relations firm Endeavor Global Strategies and was a partner there from 2009 to 2011. Spicer was hired as the Republican National Committee's communications director in early 2011, and four years later, he became the party's chief strategist. Despite criticizing Donald Trump in 2015, he was named Trump's White House press secretary as well as the administration's communications director in December 2016.

On January 21, 2017, Sean made a statement to the press in which he criticized the media for supposedly underestimating the size of the crowd at Trump's inauguration the previous day. He claimed that it was the "largest audience to ever to witness an inauguration, period – both in person and around the globe." Many sources pointed out that this claim was false.

In July 2017, Spicer announced that he was resigning from his position as White House Press Secretary shortly after Trump appointed Anthony Scaramucci as the White House communications director. He had reportedly told Trump that he "vehemently disagreed" with the hiring of Scaramucci. After his announcement, Sean tweeted, "It's been an honor & a privilege to serve @POTUS @realDonaldTrump & this amazing country. I will continue my service through August." Scaramucci famously lasted just 11 days.

Spicer was succeeded by Sarah Huckabee Sanders. In 2018, Spicer released the book "The Briefing: Politics, the Press, and the President," which is described as "the first insider account written by someone who worked on the Trump campaign, with the Trump transition team, and in the Trump White House—and has seen Donald Trump rallying voters, building an administration, and making crucial policy decisions." In 2019, Trump appointed Spicer to the United States Naval Academy's Board of Visitors. Since leaving the Trump administration, Sean has hosted the political talk show "Spicer & Co." on Newsmax and the podcast "The Morning Meeting" on the 2WAY Network.
