EXPERIENCE
Evan is an Assistant Planner who has come to Vandewalle & Associates just a few courses away from his Masters in Urban Planning from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee—with expected completion in Fall of 2024. He holds a bachelors in Public Administration with an emphasis in Planning and Budget Management from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
There Evan studied a wide range of planning topics and issues including planning law, site and market analysis techniques, walkable neighborhoods, issues and planning for affordable housing and multifamily housing. Projects in the cities of Milwaukee and Sheboygan provided plenty of highly applicable opportunity to study and problem-solve the challenges faced by many mid-size communities in the upper Midwest.
Professionally, Evan has already advanced his career by gaining some valuable real-world experience working full-time in the field while pursuing his Masters’ degree. As an intern and associate, Evan has been immersed in the complex workings of the planning process including updating comprehensive plans, grant writing, due diligence documentation, parking studies, zoning and building permits, economic development research, administration of GIS software, and working with municipal planning staff.
