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.

Tommy Andersen knows the value of staying the course and consistently going the extra mile, day in and day out. And he knows about facing difficult decisions and taking action to ensure the best for his family and clients. After settling down in Southern California, getting married and becoming a father, Tommy’s life changed drastically when he was faced with the decision to raise his children on his own, becoming a single dad to a 2 ½ year-old daughter and newborn son. Suddenly, life changed. “My children needed me and I wanted to be with them. I sold my house, quit a very good job and moved to a less expensive area,” he says. Whatever money was left after paying for childcare, Tommy put toward sales and marketing for his own business. “Those were some lean years in the beginning, but I had faith and trusted God,” he says. It was at that time, Tommy met his business partner Richard Harrison. The two have been together for over 20 years, a stable and consistent business relationship. Those core values – stability and consistency – are not only among those of which their business foundation is built upon, but also what Tommy and Richard seek to provide to their clients.
Tommy is now married to Alicia and is father to six awesome kids: Sadie Rose, Lucas, Nathan, Gunnar, Lars and McKenzie. Tommy and Alicia are also grandparents, with two wonderful grandchildren, Jett and his newborn baby sister, Bryce. When not visiting and meeting clients, Tommy stays healthy with biking, triathlons and CrossFit (rumor has it that he also played rugby back in the day), and he enjoys following baseball and football. He’s also an avid reader and lifelong learner, pursuing continuing education when needed.
Tommy is a graduate of Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California with an Associate of Arts degree. Tommy’s Master of Business Administration degree is from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. He is a member of the National Ethics Association, a past president of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors and has achieved designation as a Certified Financial Fiduciary® from the National Association of Certified Financial Fiduciaries.
“People choose to work with us because we listen to them,” something Tommy’s father instilled in him while growing up in Brooklyn, New York and Hightstown, New Jersey. “I genuinely care and have been through life and can identify with so many shared and similar life experiences.”
