Bob Connor has been a strong presence in the Indianapolis painting market since 1979. He started painting as a college student, working summers for his older brother Bill at Connor and Crew. Bob graduated from Butler University in 1981, with a degree in History and Political Science. While at Butler, Bob was a four-year letterman in the Bulldogs football program and member of Sigma Chi fraternity. Bob’s love of history, particularly Indiana history, fit hand in glove with his interest in the painting restoration of both commercial and residential landmark properties. Over the years, Bob’s repainting expertise has been called upon by commercial realtors and facility managers across Indiana.

Bob has been involved with the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America since the late 1980’s and has served in a variety of offices within the organization. Additionally, Bob is a member of the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), the International Facility Management Association (IFMA), Indiana Landmarks, and the Rotary Club of Indianapolis. He is a member of the Butler University B-Association and the Bulldog Club. He has served on the board of directors of many Indianapolis organizations. Bob isn’t keen on fanfare surrounding giving. He practices selfless service and is in constant assistance of organizations providing resources and services to members of our Indianapolis Community who are most in need of a helping hand.

At CFP, Bob has a variety of responsibilities including estimating, sales and project supervision. As co-founder, Bob has instilled a profound commitment to employees and customers alike. He has been happily married to his wife, Janmarie, since 1982. They have two wonderful sons, Nathan and Aidan, and two grandsons, John Remington Connor (Remi) and Jude Ambrose Connor. Bob especially enjoys time with his family, traveling, and supporting Butler University Athletics.

You might say Nathan Connor learned about painting through osmosis. As a little tyke, Nathan accompanied his dad on numerous commercial and residential job sites and carefully observed the craft. Nathan first started working for Connor Fine Painting in the summer of 1999 and continued to work with CFP during the summer months throughout his high school and college career.

In May of 2008, Nathan graduated from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis with a degree in Communication Studies. While at IUPUI, Nathan played four years of NCAA Division 1 soccer, and was honored as an academic all-conference athlete all four years. In June, 2008, he started full time with CFP as a project manager and new business development associate. Nathan’s ability to effectively communicate to his commercial and residential painting customers exactly what they can expect throughout their repaint project has consistently led to high marks in customer satisfaction and business referrals.

Nathan had the distinct honor of being one of the youngest members to serve on the Board of Directors of the Rotary Club of Indianapolis, one of the largest and most distinguished Rotary Clubs in the Nation. Nathan also served for three years as the Rotary Education Committee Chair which facilitates youth outreach programs and brings the message of ‘service above self’ to the next generation of community leaders. Nathan also served on the board of the Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center, which focuses on improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods and in the city of Indianapolis. Additionally, Nathan is affiliated with several professional associations including IFMA, International Facility Management Association, and BOMA, Building Owners and Managers Association. Nathan is OSHA safety certified and serves as Connor Fine Painting’s emergency first responder.

In his free time, Nathan enjoys playing soccer, enjoying his beautiful wife Sadie’s expert baking, and spending time with their adorable sons, Remi and George.
