Evan started fencing as a young teen, and eventually joined Richmond Fencing Club as an epeeist, finding a home away from home. He took everything he learned there to Virginia Tech, where he studied for an undergraduate degree. While at Tech, Evan fenced at Virginia Tech Fencing Club and played an important role in its leadership, leading beginner lessons for 3 1/2 years. Now that he's back at RFC, he applies his passion for epee and his knowledge of fencing instruction to teach beginner and intermediate epee fencers.
