Evan joins the WTAJ News Team as a Reporter in the State College Bureau.
He hails from the heartland of Lancaster County where horse and buggies, antique markets, and shoo-fly pies are a common sight.
Evan comes to Central PA’s News Leader after reporting as an intern for Blue Ridge News-11 in Northern Lancaster. He graduated from Elizabethtown College, majoring in communications and reporting for the college’s TV station ECTV-40, where he earned an AP award for investigative news story.
Evan’s excited to be in Happy Valley, telling the stories of Centre County and keeping the community informed of all the latest news. Journalism is his true passion.
In his spare time, Evan enjoys running and cycling on the beautiful trails of State College. He is also an avid tennis player, looking for any willing opponent :). Speaking of sports, Evan lives and breathes both PSU and Philadelphia sports, and you’d never confuse him for a Pittsburgh fan… but don’t worry he’s a classy fan who only cheers and never boo’s.
You may also catch Evan singing while playing the piano or organ… Frank Sinatra is definitely his favorite crooner.
Don’t be shy, say “hi” when he’s out and about in Centre County. He’s happy to call State College home.
