The business joined Hightower in 2017.

Fairport Wealth, a Cleveland, Ohio-based Hightower advisory business, has appointed Matt Logar, its president, as CEO. 

With more than two decades of wealth management experience, Logar succeeds Ken Coleman, who has retired after nearly 25 years of leading Fairport to becoming the industry powerhouse it is today.

Logar joined Fairport in 2021 as director of client strategy and in 2022 was elevated to the role of president. 

Since becoming a Hightower advisory business in 2017, Fairport has completed four acquisitions and grown from one to five offices in Cleveland, Ohio; Buffalo, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; and Princeton, New Jersey.

“When we seek out firms to join our community, strong leadership, and founders or executives committed to continuing to operate the firm after they become part of Hightower, is critical. Ken has been dedicated to the business since our investment in Fairport five years ago, helping to ensure its success and longevity with the right hire and decision in bringing in Matt,” Hightower CEO and chairman Bob Oros, said. 

Before joining Fairport, Logar directed the financial planning and advice teams as a senior vice president within Key Bank’s wealth management division. Earlier in his career, Logar founded and established a financial planning and investment advisory firm. He is a Certified Financial Planner™ and a Certified Public Accountant. Logar graduated from Bowling Green State University with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. He is also an active member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Northeast Ohio Financial Planning Association (FPA).

Fairport joined Hightower in 2017 as part of Hightower's acquisition of WealthTrust.
