sean@MISbenefits.com
Sean has been in the employee benefit space for over 18 years. He began his career on the East Coast in NYC working for Metlife and UnitedHealthcare. Overall Sean spent 8 years of his career representing the insurance carrier side of the industry, until joining Morrison Insurance to be a broker at the start of 2013. Working at the large insurance carriers was an amazing experience, but allowed Sean to realize that being part of a local company that could truly help businesses was the right path for him. With that in mind joining Morrison Insurance was the most logical long term fit. Sean had gotten to know Jim while still on the carrier side and they realized they had a similar mindset that would allow for a strong partnership.
Sean has been a long time member of National Association of Health Underwriters, now known as National Association of Benefits and Insurance Professionals. He was the President for the local chapter and involved on a statewide basis. Previously Sean was a board member of Association of Corporate Growth and maintains his involvement with Provisors and the Poway Chamber of Commerce. He assists a number of local non profits in fundraising efforts and strategic advice. These days outside of work Sean stays busy with family activities as well trying to keep up with his three young children. Sean was bitten by the golf bug a few years ago and if not at work or family, he tries to get out on the golf course.
