My favorite vacation place is Whistler-Blackcomb Mountain near Vancouver, Canada. I love to ski and want to go back here as soon as possible.

I love to read, especially Fantasy and Science Fiction, and my favorite author is Brandon Sanderson.

I am incredibly scared of spiders, but somehow not scared of any of the other typical scary bugs or animals.

Evan McNeilly

Investment Associate

I recently graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Economics and a minor in Business, and I’m currently continuing my education through CPA coursework with the goal of becoming a CPA within the next two years. I’ve always enjoyed understanding how markets work and started investing when I was 18, which sparked my interest in this field early on.

At Kenora, I help with tax preparation, investment research, client support, and assisting the partners in their day-to-day work. I attend investment and estate planning meetings regularly, which gives me the opportunity to continue learning directly from the team while building real-world experience.

I’ve always considered myself a people person, and one of my first priorities has been getting to know our clients. Meeting them, hearing their stories, and helping them feel more secure about their future is my favorite part of my job.

Outside of work, I enjoy golfing, disc golf, traveling, reading, and spending time with family and friends, along with my dog, Eddie. I also grew up playing soccer and try to stay active whenever I can.
