#977 - Jeff Evans & Bud Brutsman

Jeff was born in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and grew up in Roanoke, Virginia. These soft and rolling hills are where his sense of adventure was developed. But his insatiable appetite for the bigger and wilder landscapes lead him to Colorado at the age of 19. Somewhere between climbing every rock in Boulder County, he earned his B.S. in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Colorado with his final semester spent living abroad in Guadalajara, Mexico.
