Dude, this guy is an original sol

SEAN BERG ('92) CREATED Olas Sol Socks to design and sell fleece socks made specifically for flip-flops. The political science major fashioned his company around a love of surfing and the "lifestyle it suggests." The entrepreneurial "beach bum" is a full-time third-grade teacher in inner-city Baltimore, where he's also pursuing a Master of Arts in Teaching at Johns Hopkins University. Are you an original sol?
