Evan - Real Estate Agent

Business Philosophy

• "After leaving The Nature Conservancy of Connecticut, where I was Executive Director for four years, I joined The Strong Agency in 1981, specializing in land sales. Over the past 20 years I have continued to maintain a strong interest in land conservation and historic preservation and have recently begun to work with conservation-minded buyers and sellers who will act to preserve and protect their land and historic places. The lower Connecticut River valley is an extraordinary natural, scenic and historic resource which must be protected from inappropriate development. I hope that through my real estate practice I can help further that goal. If you have an interest in owning and protecting historic, scenic and ecologically significant property, call me at Coldwell Banker.

Personal BackgroundI grew up in Greenwich,CT and moved to the Old Lyme/Essex area where my family has settled for generations. I maintain a strong sense of place and community. I serve on several town commissions which helps me to know land and zoning regulations and to know my way around town hall. I am married and have two grown children. I served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam conflict prior to attending the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies where I earned a Masters Degree in Forest Science. I served as Executive Director of the Connecticut Chapter of The Nature Conservancy for 4 years before entering the real estate business.
