R. Travis Evans | CFP®
Founder | Senior Financial Advisor

Before joining his father’s financial advisory business in 1992, Travis spent one year as a commercial real estate appraiser. After this experience, he realized that helping people steward their assets was his calling. So, he joined the family business in order to apply his skills and help make a difference in our clients’ lives. Between 1986 and 1991, Travis earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 5 ½ years, and represented Texas A&M as a scholarship athlete on both the football and rodeo teams. While in school, Travis was elected Fellowship of Christian Athlete’s Male Athlete of the Year in Texas and was a two-time award winner of GTE’s Academic Achievement Award for student athletes.
Widowed in 2005, Travis is the proud father of Landon and Emilie, and in 2011, was blessed to marry Kate Toomey, a fellow Aggie and owner of Life-In-Stride Riding Academy. In his spare time, Travis enjoys serving as a director for the Texas Senior Pro Rodeo Assoc, spending time with family and friends, fishing, hunting, and training horses. He and Kate also love to travel and enjoy visiting tropical beaches and exploring new destinations.
Landon Evans | CLTC®
Managing Partner
Landon joined VetWealth in 2016 with the unique advantage of being mentored by both his father and grandfather. Landon takes pride in continuing the family’s legacy of helping to enrich the financial lives of others. His background is in asset protection, and as Managing Partner he oversees the operation and growth of the company as a whole.
Landon takes a goal focused approach to designing strategies for his clients and believes that being a good listener and educator is paramount to the planning process. He takes the time to thoroughly translate concepts and create clarity in clients’ financial strategies, and engages in meaningful conversations that help remove confusion from the wealth building journey. Landon believes that though past trends and performance provide perspective, they are only a small part of planning for the future. From this perspective he performs a micro-analysis of viable solutions to develop a macro-plan. Treating clients like family is what inspires him most in business, and he is steadfast in fostering lifelong, meaningful relationships.
Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, he took over as the AVMA Trust’s hand-selected representative to Texas A&M in 2019, and then later received the same privilege and responsibility for Texas Tech University in 2021.

Services That We Provide
Exit and Retirement Planning
VetWealth assists veterinarians to plan for the eventual transition into retirement, maximizing the after tax proceeds available to provide passive income streams in retirement. Utilizing proprietary methodology, we typically see substantial increases in retirement for those who implement our efficiency audits into their comprehensive plans.
Debt Reduction
Whether you have recently graduated from vet school with large student loans, or have numerous personal and business creditors, VetWealth can equip you with advanced software to determine the most efficient pathway towards complete debt reduction and financial freedom, optimizing your wealth building potential. We give more than lip service to debt reduction…rather, we build it into every financial plan, saving our clients hundreds of thousands of dollars that would have been lost to financial institutions.
Proactive Tax Strategies
We understand that veterinarians need more than bookkeeping and historical accounting. As income increases, proactive tax mitigation becomes a critical and essential component of sound financial planning. From personal tax plans to engineered cost segregation and property tax reduction, we allow our clients to see a thorough savings assessment prior to
any obligation to hire our team.
Investment Management
There are thousands of investment choices in the market place today. To help doctors make sense of it all, we equip veterinarians with information based on extensive research and experience, looking for proven money managers in good years, but even more importantly in the down years. We combine the proper choices into models available to help maximize your portfolio earning potential. Doing the due diligence first allows us to concentrate on your exact needs when we begin your financial planning process.
It’s one thing to develop a financial or wealth management plan; it’s another to make sure it continues to be executed successfully. As time goes by, your goals and needs may change, and we will work with you to ensure the plan and portfolios we recommend and implement are the best fit for your current situation.
Insurance and Risk Management
Veterinarians can save a small fortune on their insurance plans by working with experienced, independent fiduciaries. VetWealth advisors have a distinct advantage over other agents by being able to advise on AVMA benefits, as well as other highly rated and competitive companies. Get your Instant Life Insurance Quote
