Conn’s Perspective

I spend most of my time helping clients grow and navigate key moments in their business, from startups and expansions to acquisitions and major transactions. A lot of my work is with equipment lessors and rental companies, where decisions move quickly and the stakes are high. What I enjoy most is helping clients take an idea and turn it into something real, whether that’s opening a new location, expanding operations, or figuring out the right financing approach. I've also seen deals from multiple sides — private equity, public companies, and entrepreneurs raising their first capital — which helps me guide clients with a more practical, well-rounded perspective. Outside of work, I enjoy skiing, hiking, and competitive rowing, and regularly compete in national and international races.
