Much of what drives Connor, in both the law and life, is helping people. As a young person, he founded a civic youth commission and earned the rank of Eagle Scout. Connor went on to become his city’s youngest ever school board president and mayor.
He currently serves his community as a city council member, where he was elected by the largest margin of victory in his city’s history. Connor also volunteers as vice chair of his local Boys & Girls Club and is a board member for the Orange County Fire Authority.
Connor and his wife Cheyenne, who is a teacher, are parents to their son Calum and their two goldendoodles, Nova and Whitney. Together, they enjoy watching baseball and hockey games, venturing on long hikes, and weekend road trips to the Colorado River.
