In 2008, Sean McCoy's life changed. Sean had just found out he had been accepted as a transfer student to the University of Southern California, a long time dream of his, when he got a phone call from a family friend.

His twin sister, Devin, had overdosed on drugs. She was dead.

Since his sister's death, Sean started the cloud-computing company Cloud.cm, a social networking and file sharing site, with the financial backing of his brother Matt, who plays for Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks.

His most recent venture is a non-profit organization that will help kids struggling with drug dependency.

Sean's inspiring story was told in the OC Register. Read it here.
