Meet Evan
I’m a marketing expert and storyteller with experience at two Olympic Games.
At Paris 2024 in Tahiti, I executed stories for The Inertia, breaking an exclusive data-driven report on a judge’s removal that reached 300,000+ readers.
Previously, as Marketing and Media Manager for the International Surfing Association, I led communications, PR, and digital strategy that helped secure surfing’s Olympic inclusion. Our efforts propelled the sport into the top half of the Tokyo 2020 media rankings for international federations — despite having one of the smallest athlete pools.
My work has appeared in Surfer, Stab, The Inertia, GearJunkie, Teton Gravity Research, Lookout Santa Cruz, and Santa Cruz Local, among others.
