“Evan was smart, funny, intelligent, and charming – his presentation just had everything! I was so engaged the whole time, and what I think did it for me was that it was kind of a lecture, but still had my attention. The activities he had didn’t pull my attention away from his point, it only helped situate me, and I think the rest was his style. He knows how to keep an audience captivated.”
