Evan's history with Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh runs deep! He originally began working with us as a volunteer back in 2012. A Western Pennsylvania native and University of Pittsburgh alum, Evan has been involved in residential construction and project management since 2007, even operating his own small renovation company before officially joining the RTP staff in the fall of 2022. He brings both profound technical expertise and a genuine passion for our community to every project he oversees. Read on to learn a bit more about Evan in his own words!
"Why is this work important to you, Evan?"
This work is deeply interwoven with creating quality and dignity of life for the Homeowners we serve. That is important. Performing good work from a place of respect for our Homeowners and their homes is a responsibility I'm grateful to be a part of.
"Would you please share a fun fact about yourself for our readers?"
Hm… Share something fun about me? Easier said than done! I like to fix things and understand how they work. I like sympathetic restoration; the type of mending where the history and spirit of an object remains present and considered in the work. Currently I'm working on fixing up a ~120-year-old barrel butter churn! …and that is fun to me!
