As an official, he was in office for 29 years. He received a bachelor's degree in judicial and social sciences. He has worked as a journalist, physical education teacher, technician in self-defense, shooting instructor and author of books focused in security issues.

In 2015, he started his first term as federal deputy after being elected in the 2014 elections with 179,196 votes. In 2006, he joined the Green Party, ran for state deputy and was elected.[citation needed]

In 2010, Olímpio joined the Democratic Labor Party and was re-elected state deputy. He later announced his candidacy for the government of São Paulo in the 2014 elections.[citation needed]

In June 2013, Olímpio criticized the mayor of São Paulo Fernando Haddad and the governor of São Paulo state Geraldo Alckmin for their posture facing the general protests, stating that both should be more focused in the next year's elections than with the violence and that they "lacked firm wrist".[citation needed]

Olímpio was leader of the PDT in the Legislative Assembly, which he left to take office in the Chamber of Deputies.[citation needed]

In 2015, Olímpio took office in his first term as federal deputy, having been elected in 2014 with 179,196 votes.[citation needed]

In November 2015, he left PDT and joined the newly created Party of the Brazilian Women (PMB).[4] In March 2016, he joined Solidariedade (SD).[5]

During the swearing-in of former president Lula as Chief of Staff, on 17 March 2016, Olímpio shouted "Shame!", being hostilized[clarification needed] by the guests and removed from the location by security guards.[6]

Olímpio was the candidate to the City Hall of São Paulo in the 2016 election as a member of Solidariedade (SD). He received 116,870 votes.[citation needed]

Olímpio voted in favor of the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in 2016.[7] During the government of Michel Temer, he voted against the "Ceiling" of Public Spending Bill.[8] In April 2017, he was against the Labor Reform.[9] In August and October 2017, Olímpio supported a request to open an investigation against president Michel Temer.[10][11]

He was a Freemason.[12][13]
