Partner, Wright LaHaie Jarvis Wealth Advisors

Connor has been a name partner with Wright LaHaie Jarvis Wealth Advisors since 2018.  With the belief that proper planning is a rewarding journey, not a one-time destination, Connor follows a refined, consultative process focused on helping business owners, executives, professionals, and families cut through the noise, simplify the complex, and bring clarity to their financial future – guiding them along the path to achieving their most cherished financial goals and objectives through a goals-oriented approach.

Whether it is in pursuit of most effectively serving clients or serving the community, Connor does so with great passion and enthusiasm.  He is an active Rotarian, currently serving on the Board and as Sergeant-at-Arms for the Rotary Club of Akron.  Additionally, he serves on the Walsh University President’s Advisory Board, is a member of the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, and volunteers with Junior Achievement, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and Young Life of Stark County.

Connor attended Miami University as a member of the University Honors and Farmer School of Business Honors Programs, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business (Finance Major).  While in Oxford, he interned with the Chief Investment Office and Miami University Endowment Fund, and spent time as an intern with one of the nation’s largest Registered Investment Advisors, Sequoia Financial Group (located in Akron, OH).  Connor then went on to serve as a partner on an advisory team with Merrill Lynch Wealth Management prior to joining Wright LaHaie Jarvis.  He and his partners are dedicated to consistent professional development and continuing education.  Connor has earned the designation of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, the standard of excellence in the wealth management and financial consulting industry only bestowed upon those who have met the rigorous education, examination, experience, and ethics requirements.  He also holds his Series 7, Series 66, and Insurance Licenses.

When he is not serving clients or the community, Connor spends his time with family and enjoys outdoor workouts, studying maps, baseball, reading, and journaling. He and his wife (Courtney) are high school sweethearts and “Miami Mergers.”  Courtney works as a Client Relationship Manager in the practice.  They reside in North Canton with their daughter (Emerson) and son (Theodore), with their third child (and second son) due for arrival in August.

June 28th - Food Bank Service Project
 
I hope you are enjoying your Spring.  It is time again to sign up to volunteer for the Akron Canton Regional Food Bank service project!
 
I am looking for volunteers (spouses and friends are welcome; they just need to signup for volunteering with ACRFB!) for Wednesday, June 28th from 4:30pm to 6:30pm at the Akron location which is located at 350 Opportunity Parkway, Akron, OH 44307.  After the food bank service project anyone is welcome to join me in going out to dinner for more social time at a downtown Akron restaurant to be determined later.  
 
The service project involves breaking down large containers of food into smaller portions for redistribution to area food pantries.  The two hours flies by as we all have fun with the project and we get the opportunity to work with our fellow Rotarians and strengthen our friendships and maybe meet a few new people from other organizations/companies that are there volunteering as well.    
 
IF YOU HAVE NOT VOLUNTEERED BEFORE AT THE FOOD BANK THEN I NEED YOU TO REGISTER.  See volunteer application link below. 
 
If you have any questions please call or text me at 330-714-1044.
 
I need a head count by noon Friday June 23, so if you would please let me know by then if you plan on attending by sending me an email or text:  dhall@preferredlegacy.com or 330-714-1044.  I would greatly appreciate it!
 
Thank you for volunteering!
