Geoffrey Kanner

My commitment and passion for my clients is the reason WHY I am in this profession.

I graduated from the University of Connecticut with a BA in Psychology and have been interested in behavioral finance ever since.  I graduated from The American College with a Master's Degree in Financial Services. I served five years on active duty in the U.S. Air Force as a Captain with the Strategic Air Command and learned first-hand the value of discipline, systems and procedures.  For close to forty years, I have been fortunate to help individuals and their families define their goals and reach their dreams.   After working with and learning from established financial companies, I opened Kanner Financial Services in 2007 to focus on clients and give them the full attention they deserve.

Never content to take continuing education just to satisfy the regulators, I have endeavored to expand my knowledge on a consistent basis -- to remain current on changes in the various laws, procedures and technological advancements that relate to the financial industry.  Over the past 35 years I have earned many professional designation including the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional (CFP® Professional).  

I am a member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA), a past president of the FPA of New Haven, National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) of Greater New Haven and NAIFA of Connecticut.  I have served in a variety of community and professional organizations over the years.  I live in Hamden with my wife Maribeth, and have proudly watched my children Stacey, Eliza and Noah grow and excel. 

I look forward to meeting you.
