Meet Evan

Evan’s specialties
At Mercer Advisors, all of our wealth advisors provide a highly personalized approach, backed by a team of specialists that ensure every part of your financial list is addressed. Additionally, Evan has focused experience in these areas:
- Planning for retirement, from high-earning years to long-term income strategies

His working style
Evan’s approach lies in simplifying the client’s situation and guiding them via long-term, planning centered relationships. This is done by focusing on being educational (ensuring everyone is always on the same page), analytical (distilling complex topics into digestible information), and relational (tying in a client’s unique goals and views).
Evan in real life
What makes you tick?
I am driven by helping people grow and make better decisions. I’ve come to learn that stressors and burdens exist around money whether you have $100 or $100 million. Helping to eliminate those is the reason I do what I do.
What keeps you busy outside of work?
I spend a great deal of time with my wife and two orange kitties. Outside of that, I love cooking, hiking, pickleball, golf, and a large number of board games, most notably chess.
Favorite thing about where you live?
It is hard to beat the nature found in Minnesota, despite the sometimes brutal winters. I also love the wide range of people you run into, both personally and professionally. The unique situations found in working with clients help to keep every day interesting.
Evan’s snapshots
The Forbes ranking of Best-In-State Wealth Advisors, developed by SHOOK Research, is based on an algorithm of qualitative criteria, gained through telephone, virtual and in-person due diligence interviews, and quantitative data. Those advisors that are considered have a minimum of seven years’ experience, and the algorithm evaluates best practices, such as service models, investing models, compliance records as well as revenue trends, assets under management and industry experience. Portfolio performance is not a criterion due to varying client objectives and lack of audited data. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK receive a fee in exchange for rankings.
Shook Research’s proprietary methodology and ranking algorithm incorporates in-person, virtual, and telephone due diligence meetings to evaluate each advisor across criteria such as client impact, industry experience, client retention, review of best practices, credentials, compliance records, and firm nominations, as well as quantitative factors including assets under management and revenue generated for their firms. Shook considered advisors born from 1987 to present with a minimum of four years of experience as an advisor. View full methodology here.
Please Note: Limitations. Neither rankings and/or recognitions by unaffiliated rating services, publications, media, or other organizations, nor the achievement of any professional designation, certification, degree, or license, membership in any professional organization, or any amount of prior experience or success, should be construed by a client or prospective client as a guarantee that he/she will experience a certain level of results if Mercer Advisors or its investment professionals are engaged, or continues to be engaged, to provide investment advisory services. A fee was not paid by either Mercer Advisors or its investment professionals to receive the award or ranking. The award or ranking is based upon specific criteria and methodology (see ranking criteria/methodology via the “Read More” links). No ranking or recognition should be construed as an endorsement by any past or current client of Mercer Advisors or its investment professionals.
