Our Team

Sean’s love of finance started at the University of Lethbridge where he majored in finance and accounting. He spent the first three years of his career working with a Big Four accounting firm in the private business group, after which he made the switch to finance. Sean’s first experience working in finance was as an equity research associate with UBS Securities. With two years of equity research experience, he decided to seek out the opportunity to become a financial advisor.

In 2009, Sean joined the Quarry Wealth Management team and in 2012 became an equal partner in the firm. In 2021, the mutual decision was made to wind down Quarry Wealth Management and form Moraine Wealth Advisory. He is passionate about bringing integrated financial planning to his clients. Sean has his CIM® designation, and is an Associate Portfolio Manager, as well as a Certified Financial Planner. He is currently working on completing his Certified Life Underwriter CLU® designation and is pursing the Registered Financial Planner RFP® certification.

Sean has been an active board member of the Women + Wealth Gala for several years. Each year, this not-for-profit event attracts hundreds of people and raises thousands of dollars for the Canadian Women’s Foundation.

Sean is married and has three teenagers that keep him busy shuttling them to and from their respective sports. In his spare time, when he can find it, he enjoys camping, golfing, and cooking.
