Born and raised in Virginia Beach, VA, Connor has been working in the financial services industry since 2016. Before beginning his career in finance, Connor worked on staff at a local church, where he developed a commitment to service with a spirit of excellence. His interest in finance emerged early, leading him to seek the mentorship of an industry veteran, who helped him gain valuable insights and skills. Connor soon obtained his Series 65 certification, becoming an investment adviser representative and managing investment portfolios for families throughout Southeastern Virginia and beyond. With a specialized focus on retirement income strategies, Connor earned the Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®) designation from The American College of Financial Services. In 2019, he launched his own financial planning and investment management firm, eventually establishing his own Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) in the state of Virginia. After five years of successfully running his business, Connor joined Beacon Harbor Wealth Advisors in 2024, bringing with him a wealth of expertise, a unique set of skills, and valued client relationships. He is passionate about helping families design the lifestyles they envision, make a meaningful impact, and leave a lasting legacy. Connor also serves as a member of the Beacon Harbor Wealth Advisors’ Investment Committee. Outside the office, Connor enjoys spending time with his wife, Kaitlyn, and their daughter, Pendry. Together, they love traveling, exploring new places and restaurants, playing tennis & golf, being near the water, catching a baseball game, and creating new memories as a family.
