Zach Reuter, CFP^®

Financial Planner

Background

Whether it’s the game of Gonzaga basketball or the game of personal finance, Zach is a huge fan. After making a 180- degree career change from nonprofit work to financial services, Zach is driven by the empowerment and confidence sound financial planning brings to people’s lives.

After college, Zach served as an AmeriCorps volunteer for two years in Spokane before transitioning to a Portland area nonprofit helping connect volunteers to service agencies across the Pacific Northwest.

After a budding fascination with personal finance became an obsession, he started working with a financial planning firm in Portland before joining Johnson Bixby in 2020. Zach was a member of our client services team prior to completing the requirements to become a Certified Financial Planner® professional and joining our team of planners.

Zach enjoys staying on top of changing financial law and regulations, but also learning about how to help clients use their resources, financial and otherwise, to live a meaningful life.

• At 6’7” Zach jokes about his ability to see above the fray and help make level-headed decisions (we love that he can reach high shelves in the office.)
• In college, Zach studied abroad in Zambia, focusing on chimpanzee behavior and group dynamics.
• He lives in the Salmon Creek area near WSU Vancouver with his wife, two children, and English bulldog, Penelope.
