I have had the pleasure of knowing Evan on a professional as well as personal level. His positive attitude and upbeat personality are contagious, and I have seen first hand how students respond to him as an Officer. His joy of teaching is obvious and is reflected in the students he teaches and mentors. Hero’s can be defined in many ways, but Evan’s ability to teach young people to make positive decisions that will affect their future would definitely fit into one of the definitions.
