Michael is the founder and managing member of Green Leaf Financial Consulting, LLC, and has more than 30 years of experience in business and business management. His passion for helping people was realized early in life. Having watched his mother struggle through raising five boys on her own with nowhere to turn for honest financial guidance, Michael doesn’t want others to have to go through what he and his family endured. This experience drove him to specialize in financial planning and investment management for women, families, and business owners. Now, as a business owner himself, serving clients in the Pacific Northwest, he understands what goes into balancing the responsibility of running a business with family life, all while hoping to secure a meaningful legacy.
It was during his successful real estate career that Michael recognized he was limited in his ability to help people, so, in 1998, he entered the financial planning and investment management business. He learned from some of the best during his tenure with Merrill Lynch and Smith Barney, a member of Citigroup. Michael has been using his life experience and his financial planning experience throughout the last 21 years to help clients navigate through major recessions and market downturns. In 2003, Michael left the confines of the large brokerage firms and partnered with Commonwealth Financial Network®, an independent Register Investment Adviser–broker/dealer, and established Green Leaf Financial Consulting, LLC.
Michael is not only devoted to his family and clients but to his community. He has served on several nonprofit boards over the years and provides training to nonprofit boards in legacy planning and donor relations strategies. Michael has been extensively involved at his children’s schools, serving on boards and committees to improve and enhance the students’ educational experience. Additionally, he has served as an honorary chairman for the National Business Advisory Council and on the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce Local Government Affairs and Economic Development councils.
Giving back is important to Michael, so when asked, he agreed to teach a Practical Wealth Management class at the University of Oregon Lundquist School of Business to MBA and MSA graduate students. Michael strives to impart education to these students regarding the difference between product sales and true consulting in the investment and financial planning arena.
In his free time, Michael enjoys spending time with his wife, Tiffany. They love creating meals, cooking and serving them to family and friends. He also enjoys a variety of outdoor activities, including, tennis, hiking, backpacking, and boating in the Great Northwest, as well as fly-fishing in Oregon and Montana. Michael has been involved in youth athletics and coaching (tackle football and track) for more than 30 years. Michael lives in Eugene with his wife, who owns and operates her own business as an independent mortgage broker.

My Passion: Our business revolves around building relationships, helping clients to bridge the financial gap between current situations and desired outcomes, and equipping them for a more secure future. Relationships are first and foremost to me; it is important to forge strong connections and hopefully, build clients for life. I believe that what’s most important to our clients should in turn be most important to us, so focusing on and truly being intentional with people is paramount. By partnering alongside them, we aim to arm our clients with the confidence and clarity to reach their financial goals. My Expertise: Our ADL (Accumulation, Distribution, Legacy) planning model seeks to create a simplified blueprint that is both easy to understand and seamless to implement. This process also prompts the ‘candid conversation,’ which allows us to home in and drill down on how to achieve what is most important to our clients, whether that be insurance, tax-planning, or efficient investments.
My Role: Holistic financial planning is incomplete without weighing every factor. Using a team approach, I assist our advisors in helping our clients inventory their financial lives, craft a detailed game-plan, and help them achieve your vision of a secure future. Tapping into our years of experience provides collaborative and results-driven solutions that fit our clients’ needs.
My Personal Interest: I was born in Des Moines, IA and raised in Springfield, OH, where most of my family still resides. In 2017, I graduated from Cedarville University with a degree in Finance. In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, cooking, reading, kayaking, being involved in church ministries and spending time with my fiancé, Brooke. I have a more than casual interest in coffee and roast beans in my garage.
Conor’s passion for the investment industry began over 20 years ago at the tender age of 13 during an extracurricular class called Project Business. Conor was tasked with researching and picking an individual stock and following it throughout the semester. During that time, the Yahoo stock he chose increased by 150% and he thought “This seems easy!” When the tech bubble burst in the early 2000’s, he realized there might be a little more complexity to the financial world, but he was hooked nonetheless.
During his first financial services job in the shareholder services department of Eaton Vance in Boston, Conor acted as the last line of defense for clients desperate for advice during the 2008 financial crisis. He could not believe there were so many people who could not get in contact with the advisor that “sold” them the mutual fund they were calling about, and he knew he wanted to change that. Although he watched some of his colleagues become frustrated working with naïve investors, Conor thrived in that environment and enjoyed educating shareholders while “talking them off the edge.” That was when his true passion for the financial services industry was born. He had a strong and consistent desire to help people that continued to point him in the direction of financial advising.
In January 2014, Conor joined his uncle, Mark Bryant, at Bryant Asset Management as a Registered Representative of Commonwealth Financial Network. In this role, Conor advises a growing group of his own clients as well as assisting the firm with research, marketing, and client portfolio construction. Conor has earned one of the highest-level professional designations in financial services as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. Conor also holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL FIDUCIARY Designation.
