Evan is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Financial Advisor at The Pacific Wealth Management Group. Whether he’s advising corporate executives on how to manage their stock options or helping a local business owner build a more tax-efficient portfolio, Evan is dedicated to helping his clients achieve their goals and objectives. He believes successful people all share a common bond: They encounter important life events that require timely guidance to help them make the right financial decisions for themselves, their careers and their families. He is there to help them each step of the way.

A lifetime resident of Redmond, Washington, Evan started reading the stock pages of his local newspaper when he was in elementary school. He knew at an early age that he wanted to work in finance and worked hard to achieve this goal. After graduating from Pennsylvania State University with a B.S. degree in Finance, Evan began his career as a Commercial Credit Analyst at Columbia Bank. This experience taught him some very valuable analytical skills that he utilizes today as a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley.

Since joining the firm in 2016, Evan has built a successful practice. He specifically enjoys advising executives on how to effectively integrate valuable corporate benefits – specifically the management of their stock options and restricted stock – into their personal wealth plans. Through a goals-based process and Morgan Stanley’s world-class service platform, Evan works diligently to provide clients with confidence about their finances so that they can make smart decisions about their hard-earned wealth.

Outside of the office, Evan enjoys building things and researching/investing in real estate with his wife Alexa.

5The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
