BIOGRAPHY

Matthew Canavan was originally born in Massachusetts but spent most of his childhood in various parts of Southern California, eventually settling in the South Bay of Los Angeles. After high school, he decided he wanted to experience everything San Diego has to offer and began his undergraduate education at San Diego State University.

Matthew originally aspired to work in the athletic training and exercise science field, and is working towards a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Physical Therapy.

Halfway through his undergraduate degree, Matthew decided he wanted to redirect his focus and began shifting his attention toward financial services and long-term financial planning. This transition sparked a strong commitment to his professional development and building his skills in financial planning. During his time at SDSU, Matthew was a member of the Financial Planning Association and is currently working toward obtaining his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® certification.

Outside of work, he enjoys taking advantage of San Diego’s year-round sunshine. He spends most of his free time golfing, running, and surfing, and tries his best not to miss a Boston Celtics game.
