OUR WHY
A Story that Shaped Our Purpose and Perspective
For Steve Olson, founder of Atlantic Wealth Partners, the need for financial security hit close to home long before he ever considered a career in wealth management.
It was July 4th, 1991. Steve’s father, a police officer and detective – who had recently moved from the NYPD to Virginia Beach, VA – was out on patrol. A day meant for celebration suddenly unraveled into a nightmare when his car was hit by a drunk driver while on duty. The injuries he sustained were severe enough to force him into early disability retirement, leaving his family to navigate the complexities of financial survival on their own.
For a family already living modestly, the sudden loss of income was devastating. With no financial safety net in place, they struggled to make ends meet and now had to face tough decisions about their future. The experience left a mark on Steve, teaching him an invaluable lesson about the impact financial distress can have on a family.
Years later, that lesson would become the driving force, the “Why,” behind Steve’s work. Over the years, Steve has channeled this motivation into providing financial guidance that addresses the unique needs of first responders. He understands that along with the day-to-day risks and unpredictable, high-stress situations, these careers come with financial complexities that require tailored advice and careful planning.
And, while Atlantic Wealth Partners began with a focus on law enforcement, its services support all first responders, including fire rescue and support personnel – reflecting a broader commitment to those who dedicate their lives to protecting others, and a determination to give them the best chance of securing their families’ financial futures.
