Andrew Sedora
Financial Advisor
Andy helps families and small business owners turn life's big transitions — a new business, a growing family, retirement — into clear, actionable financial plans. He believes good planning isn't about predicting the future, it's about building enough flexibility to handle whatever it brings.
A graduate of West Chester University with a Bachelor of Science, Andy brings a lifelong athlete's mindset to his work with clients. Just as any good team relies on strategy, communication, and trust, he partners closely with clients and their other trusted advisors — attorneys, accountants, and beyond — to build plans everyone is rowing in the same direction on.
Andy and his wife, Carolyn, are proud parents of four. Two of his sons, Gabe and Joe, have followed him into the family business at Vantus Wealth, while his daughters have set their own ambitious course — one currently attending the United States Military Academy at West Point, and the other committed to join her there. That same discipline and teamwork he sees in his own kids is what he looks for in every plan he builds: a clear goal, a solid strategy, and the follow-through to see it out.

Clinton Simmons
Financial Advisor
Based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Clinton Simmons is a Financial Advisor and Partner at Vantus Wealth. He has been serving clients since 2014, working closely with individuals and families to help them clarify their goals, make thoughtful financial decisions, and build long-term plans that provide stability, confidence, and peace of mind.
Clinton believes good financial planning is about more than numbers; it is about helping people make thoughtful decisions with the life they are building in mind. His approach is grounded in clarity, education, and personal alignment. He works to bring perspective and sound judgment to both everyday financial decisions and the major crossroads his clients face.

His approach is grounded in clarity, education, and personal alignment. He works to bring perspective and sound judgment to both everyday financial decisions and the major crossroads his clients face.
With a background in mathematics education, Clinton naturally combines analytical thinking with a love of teaching. He enjoys digging into the details of investments, planning strategies, and financial products, but just as importantly, he enjoys helping clients understand why a recommendation makes sense. His goal is for clients to feel informed and confident without making financial planning more complicated than it needs to be.
Clinton earned his undergraduate degree in mathematics and religion from Messiah University and a master's degree in mathematics education from St. John’s University. He and his wife, Christina, are raising their two children, Everett and Eva. As a husband and father, Clinton understands that financial decisions rarely exist in isolation; they are part of a much bigger picture involving family, work, time, priorities, and the life someone wants to live.
Outside of the office, Clinton enjoys traveling with his family, cooking (and eating), coaching basketball, playing pickleball, and skiing. Most of all, there is nothing that brings him joy quite like a good spreadsheet.
