Salem native, Sean Stellato, knows what it’s like to succeed in a competitive field. As a dual-athlete at Salem High School,
Stellato led the Witches to success on the gridiron and the hardwood. As an NFL agent, he represents 16 professional
football players. As an author, he captured his journey through the power of the written word and provided a source of
motivation in the process. All in all his path has been far from easy, but he’s never backed down.
Stellato was born and raised in Salem to a working class family of Italian heritage. He remembers Salem as a city full of
pride and tradition.“I’m extremely proud of where I came from,” Stellato said. “Salem will always have a special place in
my heart. I remember the history and the tradition, the pride. That’s something that always resonated with me as a young
boy.”
Growing up in the Witchcraft Heights part of the city, Stellato was introduced to sports by his two older brothers. “I was
the baby so I used to tag around with my older brothers,” Stellato added. “They put the toughness in me to play sports.
We were constantly out all day playing football, basketball, baseball.”
The countless hours of playing pickup games with his older siblings paid off for Stellato when he earned the starting
quarterback job for Salem High in 1994. That same year, he quarterbacked the Witches to a Super Bowl championship.
On the basketball court, Stellato helped the Witches to a State Championship and an undefeated season in 1995. The
Witches were one of the last teams to ever play in the old Boston Garden, where they won the State Championship game
