Personal life

Reed started playing darts at the age of 29. At the time, he was living in Japan, where he was working as an English language teacher. During his time in Japan Sean won more than 60 state and national titles including 4 Grand Master Titles in '98, '99, '02, '03. In 2004 Sean started playing soft-tip darts. He had moderate success picking up 16 titles over a 3-year period. In 2007 he set an unofficial world record of more than 28,000 points scored in just 1 hour retrieving his own darts and operating the setting of the darts machine. In darting circles he known as the creator of Target Darting a new hybrid form of the sport utilizing a target rather than a board. In 2014 he became a co-founder and CEO of the International Target Darting Organization (I.T.D.O.).

gollark: Heresy.
gollark: Calculators... generally still seem to be a scam, though.
gollark: Anyway, at my school we mostly use(d) Casio FX-991EX calculators, which have lots of nice features.
gollark: <@!665664987578236961> You may have only asked styro once, but I read basically every new message on this discord server (I have a lot of free time and mostly just skim them) and I'm pretty sure you ask similar questions a lot. And it's mildly irritating.
