While growing up in Suffield, Evan met several friends in elementary school that would grow to become lifelong friends and faithful members of his crew. Evan and his friends went through Cub Scouts and later Boy Scouts together and Evan eventually attained the rank of Eagle Scout with Boy Scout Troop #260 in Suffield. While he enjoyed playing tennis and golf and skiing, Evan loved watching professional sports more and was a huge Boston Bruins and New England Patriots fan. Evan, his brother, and his father also enjoyed watching UFC fights on Saturday nights. In his spare time, he enjoyed cooking for his family and friends. He loved hot food and making dishes that he saw in movies or on TV. His family always looked forward to his homemade red sauce and the recipes he developed with his own unique blend of spices. As he got older, Evan developed a love of comedy building on his great sense of humor. After high school, he went on to major in film at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia. He loved writing new screenplays and using his creative side to think of topics for new movies, especially comedies. While in Savannah, Evan started attending stand-up comedy shows and even participated in several open mic nights near his campus. Most of all, Evan will be remembered for his love of family and friends. His family will never forget his vast intellect, his love of learning, and his dedication to those he loved.
