Kevin Arrien grew up in the small eastern Oregon agricultural town of Juntura. Kevin attended a two-room grade school where his mother was the teacher in one of the two classrooms teaching grades 1 through 4. After high school in Vale, Oregon, Kevin went on to The University of Portland, in Portland, Oregon and gained a degree in business. Kevin studied for one year of his college in Salzburg, Austria. This brought Kevin a lot of adventurous desires to learn more about the world.

After graduating from college Kevin worked in the corporate world for a few years dealing mostly with finance. In 1991 Kevin gained his security licenses and has been in the industry every day since 11/25/91. In the early years, Kevin gained experience working in the banking industry working with the bank’s clients to deliver securities to them. Also in the early years, Kevin worked for Merrill Lynch working with clients in the large brokerage house environment. These experiences were valuable and gave Kevin the tools to develop a better environment for the clients at Arrien Investments.

While Kevin has been in the financial services industry for over 30 years, Kevin formally started Arrien Investments, Inc. in 1997, approximately 26 years ago.  It has been a fast and wonderful 26 years. The majority of the clients that started with Arrien Investments in 1997 are still being served by Arrien Investments. Kevin is still at the helm of Arrien Investments, but Alex Hansen has been training for 10+ years to operate the company and will in the not-too-distant future be running Arrien Investments. As Kevin slows down, Alex is picking up Kevin’s load with greater competency than has ever been in the Arrien Investment organization.
