Evan Ely
Planner | Senior Trail Designer
After four years of professionally building trails, managing projects, and overseeing trail crews as a Project Manager, Evan brings his real world construction experience to Pointe Strategies as a Senior Trail designer. He grew up building bike jumps and trails in the local woods behind his home before volunteering for local trail days and becoming exposed to the professional trail building industry. Evan uses his architectural design schooling to create a variety of drawings using AutoCAD and conceptual images to give clients and contractors a better idea and understanding of what the finished product will look like.
Being a skilled trail builder and experienced machine operator, Evan has the knowledge to help create both trail designs and construction documents to bridge the gap between design and construction. He continues to be heavily involved in the volunteer trail work world to spread trail maintenance principles and stay connected with trails organizations. Evan holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Architectural Technology from Ranken Technical College in St. Louis, Missouri.
