Evan's favorite movies are The Crow, all of the Star Wars movies, M*A*S*H, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Boondock Saints, The Princess Bride, More, and Rent. His own films include Beautiful (not to be confused with the Minnie Driver film of the same name), Perfect (the failed sequal to Beautiful), Halfway Down the Sky (not to be confused with the album by Splender), and his current work in progress The Last Homely House.

Being a music lover, Evan claims to love all types of music (except rap, which he despises]]. His C-D collection contains over 1100 albums from every genre (including rap, from his younger years).  His favorite artists/bands are Disturbed, Ozzy Osbourne, Korn, Flyleaf, The Dresden Dolls, AFI, Voltaire, Tool, Weird Al Yankovic, Zao, The Von Bondies, Killswitch Engage, Slipknot, and Splender.  Evan has also been in a number of bands himself, being the guitarist in the groups Stillborn Smile and Fall of the Last Great Innocent (where he also was a back-up vocalist). He has also been a vocalist in a few bands including his current work-in-progress Her Name Was Wisdom.

Being an English major, reading is another subject in which Evan loves to occupy himself. His favorite books include The Lost Years of Merlin series by T.A. Barron, Never Have Your Dog Stuffed by Alan Alda, Without You by Anthony Rapp, Almost Home by Damien Echols, Have a Nice Day and Foley is Good by Mick Foley, and The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury.

Lifestyle
Evan prides his Irish heritiage, although he rarely drinks. He considers himself to be heterosexual, but is very pro-gay rights. He has played an active role in Amnesty International, including their annual program Get On The Bus. One of the his current large concerns for human rights is the trial of the West Memphis Three.

Evan also has several tattoos, and one facial piercing (besides his ear lobes). He has one tattoo on each of his upper arms, one on the right side of his neck, and the beginning of a large piece on his left leg. His eyebrow is pierced, and in the past he had his right industrial pierced as well.

Evan has two jobs--one as a front end team member at Target and another as a promoter for Roadrunner Records.
