Throughout his career, Trent Morton has explored the workings of financial markets to help create sustainable value for his clients. He launched his career on Wall Street trading emerging market bonds at Merrill Lynch and Bear Stearns. In 2000, the draw of his hometown brought him back to Seattle where he worked for 12 years at Morton Clarke, a municipal bond firm co-founded by his father, John. There Trent realized his passion for helping private clients navigate the financial world.
He joined Raymond James in 2014, where he provides comprehensive portfolio management and financial planning. Trent lives on Mercer Island with his wife, Genevieve, and his two young children. When he is not in the office, you can find Trent spending time with his family in the mountains, playing tennis or struggling with the piano.

Scott Hitchcock brings strong analytical skills to Pylon, where he enhances fixed-income portfolios through deep research and evaluation of the bond market. Scott got his start on the mortgage trading desk at Washington Mutual before joining Morton Clarke in 2009. Since then, Scott has worked directly with Trent to prudently source and trade securities. A Gonzaga grad, you can find Scott rooting for Bulldogs basketball each winter. When better weather prevails, Scott can be found boating on Lake Washington, firing up the barbeque with friends, or working on his golf game.
