Conor’s career at UBS began in 2015, when he joined the firm through the Wealth Planning Associate program, where he was tasked with creating/updating and presenting hundreds of financial plans for clients of financial advisors all around Northeast Ohio. This provided him with invaluable experience in a wide range of planning situations that help him serve his clients in his role financial advisor on the Kichler Wealth Management team. Being able to connect with clients, to learn about their families, upbringing, careers, concerns and goals—and then deliver personalized solutions that fit their specific set of circumstances--is the most satisfactory part of his job.

In his role as a financial advisor, Conor focuses on financial planning, investment management and next-generation relationships. In his early thirties, he has experienced many of the life events that the team’s clients or client’s children experience—from raising young children to buying first homes—which helps him relate on a personal level to the issues they may face.

Conor grew up on Cleveland’s West Side and has volunteered his time at the Westside Catholic Center since becoming an Associate Board member there in 2017. He loves spending time with his wife, Nicolette, and their son, Caden.
