Contact Cannon

Cannon oversees the Atlanta office and broader region of the southeast, including market development, team building, and new adviser integration. Through his advisory practice, he also continues to help small business owners manage their liquid wealth alongside their business wealth. Cannon’s podcast series, "Business Owner Tales from the Trenches," shares practical lessons about sustaining business success while building financial independence along the way.
Before joining the EP Wealth Advisors family, Cannon was CEO of CornerCap, managing $1.2 billion with a team of 22 colleagues, where he refined the firm's vision, led new market growth, and optimized the team's next-generation leadership, in conjunction with the founder. As a business owner, Cannon developed a dynamic planning approach to help like-minded owners grow their businesses and create diversified wealth for financial independence. Prior to this role, he capitalized on his time as an award-winning Wall Street analyst to help lead the firm's investment strategies and market outlooks as CIO, while aspiring to support client wealth generation and preservation.
The potential for wealth to go from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations revealed itself to Cannon through first-hand experience with his own family's financial resources and business ownership. He’s consequently driven to help business owners potentially minimize common mistakes in wealth generation and ultimately achieve financial independence from their businesses. Cannon received an MBA from Columbia University and a B.A. from Princeton University.
Inspired by spending time and energy where public service and business cross paths, Cannon was President of the Rotary Club of Atlanta, the fourth largest in the U.S., leads the investment committee for Wesleyan College, and is Past-Chair of the Advisory Board for the Center for Ethics at Emory University. In 2021, Cannon received the Marion Collier Ross Leadership Award from the Rotary Club of Atlanta for outstanding leadership during the pandemic.
