For Coco, the launch of The Delray signified the next phase of her product journey, one focused on accessibility and empowering the next generation of athletes through sport and style. "The goal is always to create something that feels authentic to the athlete," Evan says. "If they've helped design it and feel connected to it, they're going to want to share it with the world, and fans pick up on that." Despite his fast-paced, travel-heavy career, Evan has remained closely connected to Palmer Trinity. He's a two-time Sandy Golf Tournament champion, often participating on a team with his brother and fellow alumnus Nathan Zeder '98. "It's amazing to see how the school has evolved," he shares. "The facilities, the programs, the investment in athletics, Palmer Trinity is doing it right. There's a real understanding that sports can complement academics by teaching discipline, leadership, and perseverance." He and his wife, Meredith, who works with her family on the Jills Zeder real estate team, have two daughters, ages six and one. Though his days are now spent shaping the future of sports marketing, Evan still finds time to reflect on the place where it all began: "PALMER TRINITY WAS THE FIRST COMMUNITY THAT BELIEVED IN ME, AND I'M PROUD TO STILL BE PART OF IT." Evan's advice for today's students and young alumni is to "find what drives you. It might take time, and the path won't always be clear, but passion and hard work will take you far."
