SEAN GAUGHAN
General Manager
Meet Sean Gaughan, Scooples’ new General Manager! Originally from Massapequa on Long Island, New York, Sean brings nearly 20 years of restaurant experience to his new role. His career began as a busser in high school, and he has since worked as a cook, server, bartender, and manager, gaining firsthand experience in nearly every part of restaurant operations.
Sean joined FMK Hospitality Group in September 2025 as Front of House Manager at Belle Glade Country Club. His journey with FMK has also included Evans Prairie and Tap House Social before bringing him to Scooples.
For Sean, one of the best parts of working in The Villages is getting to know the people who call it home. As a fellow Northerner, he enjoys finding connections with guests from his own region while hearing stories from people who have come from all across the country.
Outside of work, Sean is an avid PC gamer and has a background in Kenpo martial arts. Next time you visit Scooples, be sure to say hello and help us welcome Sean to his new role!
