Sean Simmons, Senior Financial Advisor, Portfolio Manager
Sean joined The Olympus Group after three years in public accounting at Moss Adams LLP. He discovered his passion for the financial services industry during his time at Western Washington University, where he received a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance. While in school, he held an elected officer position with the school's Financial Management Association and also presided over the Finance Tutoring Center. It was in these roles that Sean realized how valuable his advice was for those with a limited understanding of finance—a fundamental realization he carries with him to this day. Outside of the office, Sean enjoys being outdoors, whether he's salmon fishing out on the saltwater or hiking in the mountains. He especially loves spending time with his wife, Shelby, sons, Nason & Noah, and black Labrador retriever, Meeko.
