Sean Burrell sworn in Monday as Bluffton's newest council member
Sean Burrell, 105 Magnolia Lane, is Bluffton’s newest council member. He was sworn in on Monday to fill the seat left vacant by Dennis Gallant, when Gallant resigned to become Bluffton’s mayor.
Council recommended the new council member to the position after council members conducted interviews last week. Burrell will serve on council until the end of the year.
Burrell and his wife, Jo Lynn, own Acme Appraisal Service, which they began in 2002. The company appraises residential properties and small lots. The Burrells are Riverdale High School graduates. They moved to Bluffton in 1992.
Burrell graduated from Bluffton College in 1990 as an accounting major. He is a member of the Ohio Coalition of Appraisers and also belongs to several other appraisal organizations.
Sean and Jo Lynn have two children, Jack a freshman at Bluffton High School and Meg, a BHS junior.
