Evan in 5

East Coast born and raised, (with most of my time spent in CT and NYC) before moving to the Bay Area close to a decade ago

My wonderful wife, Erica, and two awesome kids, Millie and Drew

Anything the keeps me moving, with a bias towards obscure racket sports…squash and padel especially

The Olympic Club Foundation, Edgewood Center for Children & Families and SquashDrive. (an urban squash program that supports the youth of Northern California)

As many trips to see family in San Diego and Martha’s Vineyard as our schedules allow – and ski trips to Idaho, where both my wife (a long time ago) and kids (more recently) learned to ski
