The team

A family firm, and the people who make it go.

Cannon Capital is family owned. Two generations run it, a CPA sits inside it, and the same people you meet in the first conversation are the ones who answer the phone in year twelve.

The advisors

Who you will actually be sitting with.

Clint Cannon, CFA, President and Founder of Cannon Capital Management

Clint Cannon, CFA

President & Founder

Clint graduated from the University of Utah with a B.A. in political science and from Brigham Young University with a master's in public administration, with additional study at Penn State. A stint at Tracy Collins Bank & Trust was followed by ten years at First Security Investment Management as Director of Research and Senior Portfolio Manager.

The itch to do his own thing was not sufficiently scratched until he started Cannon & Rowe Asset Management with his partner Jim Rowe. Over the years that startup became Cannon Capital Management. Four decades in, the firm still runs on the standard he set at the beginning: no products, no commissions, and no reason to recommend anything except that it is right for the client.

Clint and his bride, Diane, have four children, four in-laws, seventeen grandchildren with enough energy to light up a city, and no pets. He describes himself as an adventure-seeking world traveller, biker and hiker, smoked-meat hobbyist, and a master at avoiding any repair involving a motor or electricity.

Chace Cannon, CFP, Chief Executive Officer of Cannon Capital Management

Chace Cannon, CFP

Chief Executive Officer

Chace attended Salt Lake Community College and the University of Utah, receiving a B.S. in finance — though he is a BYU fan through and through. He joined Cannon Capital part-time in January 2009 and full-time that April, having found the thing he actually wanted to do with his life: help people with their money.

He leads the firm, runs the financial planning side of the business, and co-manages the corporate retirement practice with Clint. His job in a client meeting is to turn complexity into an answer in plain English — what the decision is, what it costs, and what happens if you do nothing.

Chace and his wife Breanne have four children who are the joy of their life. He describes himself as an avid Lake Powell traveller, a dare-seeking boater, a determined spender of time with family, a weekend entertainer of persons, and a community-service devotee.

J

Justin Vargas

Wealth Advisor

The advisor in the room. Justin brings a client-first approach to every meeting, making sure the plan reflects the life in front of him rather than a template — and that the person across the table understands the reasoning, not just the recommendation.

T

Triton Lee, CPA

Director of Strategic Tax Planning

Triton runs the tax side, which is why the tax consequence of a decision here is known before the decision is made rather than discovered in April. Having a CPA inside the firm — not down the street — is the reason investments, tax strategy and estate get built by one coordinated team instead of three that have never spoken.

Tax, bookkeeping and payroll services are provided through Cannon Capital Tax, LLC, an affiliated practice.

Behind the advisors

The people who are not on this page are the reason it works.

Advisors get the meetings. What clients actually feel day to day is the operations and service side — the transfer that went through without being chased, the paperwork that was right the first time, the call that got returned the same afternoon.

That is not a courtesy line. In a firm this size it is the whole service experience, and it is where a plan either stays real or quietly becomes a document in a drawer.

We are a people company

We are hired by people to be stewards of their assets. The work is investment management and planning; the business is people.

We listen

Best done with our mouths shut. We ask the questions that help us understand what you need — then we listen to the answers.

We are consistent

Markets move and life changes. Through it we stay present: to explain, to adjust, and to move forward with you.

We do it right

If a thing is worth doing it is worth doing properly, including the parts nobody sees.

More than 60 years of combined experience, and industry accreditations including the CFA, CFP and AIF.

Giving back

What we do with it outside the office.

Giving back to our community matters to us. If you have a cause in mind, tell us about it — these are the two we currently support.

Donor Connect

Donor Connect links tragedy and hope in a way nothing else quite does. We are proud to help support their annual Race for Life.

For the Kids

FTK provides food for elementary-school children on weekends, over Thanksgiving, and through extended breaks such as Christmas. We contribute both time and money, and it is a privilege to.
