OFFICES IN AKRON & BROADVIEW HEIGHTS, OH

Gary Hannah, CFP®, is a Wealth Advisor with over 30 years of professional experience, including more than 15 years in financial services. Originally from Gahanna, Ohio, Gary grew up in a family dedicated to hard work and service—his father was a dentist who raised Arabian horses, and his mother was a head nurse in oncology.

Gary graduated from the University of Akron, where he played soccer—a passion he still enjoys today. After college, he moved to Columbus and later to Cleveland. His journey into financial services was deeply personal, shaped by the challenges his family faced. Following the sale of the family farm, Gary’s father passed away before enjoying the fruits of his labor, and his mother’s investments were poorly managed, leading to significant losses during the financial crisis. These experiences motivated Gary to help others create, implement, and monitor financial plans that protect their interests and goals.

Gary began his financial career with Merrill Lynch in 2008 and went on to hold roles at Thrivent Financial, New England Securities, and Peak Wealth Solutions, where he earned his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation and managed over $70 million in assets. In 2024, he joined Stratos Wealth Partners to collaborate with a team and work with clients closer to home.

Gary is passionate about helping clients define their financial goals, explore practical options, and build sustainable plans for the future. He is committed to being an ongoing resource and advocate for his clients’ success.

Outside of work, Gary enjoys spending time with his family and staying active on the soccer field.
