Peter Evans, CLU®, ChFC®, was born in Missouri and grew up in Palo Alto. After graduating from Gunn High School and earning a degree in business administration at Menlo College, he worked on the options floor of San Francisco's Pacific Stock Exchange before joining SageCrest in 1985. Since then, he's helped hundreds of people take control of their financial futures. The best part of his work, he says, is hearing clients say that he's made a big difference in their financial lives. He has particular expertise in helping families plan for retirement and other long-term expenses. He and his wife, Victoria, live in Woodside and have raised five children and had three in college at the same time. In his spare time, he loves to garden, hike, barbecue, collect wine, travel and birdwatch.
