Describe your role at ARGI in less than two sentences:
Connor B. Powell, doer of taxes. Kidding. My role is to help clients identify and achieve their personal and professional goals by developing a tax and business plan that's designed to meet their needs. My job is also to ensure that tax season is the most positive experience possible for all that we work with. How's that for less than two sentences?
Do you have a nickname?
Lots. CP, Con, Conman, Convict, Billy (long story behind that last one, don't ask).
Hometown:
Goshen, Kentucky.
Motto/mantra/favorite quote?
I can't say I have a definitive favorite, but I've always been fascinated by the Bob Dylan lyric, "He not busy being born is busy dying".
What is the greatest challenge you have had to overcome in your life thus far?
Reconciling the conflict between my heart and my mind. Withdrawing from commitments has never been easy for me because I'm passionate about most things that I do. Making the decision to step away from soccer and walking away from the opportunity to become a pilot are the two things that come to mind.
Where is your favorite place to vacation?
St. John, USVI.
What is your favorite hobby?
Playing music-mandolin, guitar, harmonica.
What is the best book you have ever read?
That's a tough one. Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer stands out.
Are you involved with any charities or non-profits?
Kentucky Youth Advocates. Their cause and statewide impact is unbelievable.
Number one thing on your bucket list?
Explore Europe with my wife.
What would you do (for a career) if you weren't doing this
? I'd be a novelist. Or a college professor. Both would bring me joy.
If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be?
I'd be Joe Reeves for a day. Or a zoo keeper. Some people might consider those one in the same, though.
What would you most like to tell yourself at age 13?
I'd tell thirteen year-old Connor never to fear vulnerability. Also, I'd tell him not to apply the parking brakes in a golf cart when the grass is still wet with morning dew. Especially when that golf cart is being parked at the top of a hill. And when that hill ends in a lake. Whoops.
How do you define success?
Finding happiness, and sharing it with others.
