Blair T. Cornell, CFP®, CPWA®
Managing Director–Wealth Management
Private Wealth Advisor
Blair knows he is at his best when he is challenged to think outside of the box to help a client reduce their concerns and, ideally, find opportunities they may not have thought possible.
Having worked with his father his entire career, he learned the importance of patience and authenticity in working alongside clients. And, like his father, Blair believes that building trust is more valuable than any product or strategy.
Today, as a Private Wealth Advisor, he specializes in strategic planning for high-net worth clients.
Blair and his wife are the founders of JoyRide, the non-profit that brings together special needs kids and car enthusiasts. Inspired by their son, JoyRide allows kids to trade the everyday worry of doctor’s visits and medications for a chance to cruise in high-end or one-of-a-kind cars. A disciplined philanthropist and entrepreneur, Blair often speaks to groups about his journey with JoyRide and the fulfillment of combining your passions.
Blair is a native of Kettering and resides in Centerville with Kat and their children Caitlin, Carter and twins, Brady and Davis. He enjoys golfing, spending time in the mountains of Colorado and boating with his family. Blair has been an active member of Fairhaven Church for over 30 years.
