Evan is an Associate in the West Des Moines, Iowa office. He plays an important role in supporting the client experience, working closely alongside advisors to help ensure clients feel informed, supported, and confident in every interaction.

Prior to joining Cerity Partners, Evan served as a Relationship Manager at Gilbert & Cook, participating in client meetings, helping coordinate follow-through, and serving as a consistent point of contact — contributing to a seamless and high-touch client experience.
