ABOUT EVANS MAY ADVISORY

Our Rich History

When Brian Rider founded Rider Kenley in 1984, he started with little more than an apartment dining room table and a deep commitment to serving clients well. For over four decades, Rider Kenley has served clients across Central Indiana, retaining many throughout its forty-one-year legacy.

In 2025, Rider Kenley formally became Evans May Advisory, officially uniting the legacy of Rider Kenley with Evans May Wealth.
