Evans was born in Hamilton, New Zealand,[1] as an "eighth-generation descendant of the Bounty mutineers".[2] He was educated at the Norfolk Island Central School. Evans runs a boutique piggery and market garden in Anson Bay. He took up acting relatively late in life, and has appeared in a number of theatre productions both on the island and in mainland Australia. In March 2013, Evans was elected to the Norfolk Legislative Assembly as an independent candidate. He remained a member until the assembly's abolition in June 2015.[3]

He won a bronze medal in the Triples with Phillip Jones and Ryan Dixon. He was also given the honour of being the Norfolk Island flag bearer at the opening ceremony.[4]
