ABOUT EVAN
I’ve spent my life learning how to
light up a room—and now, I teach others
how to do the same.
What you’ll see below is the story behind my Presence:
A fusion of corporate leadership, academic scholarship, cultural mastery, and decades of artistry that have enabled me to equip high-achievers across lifestyles, identities, and professions with the precise perspective and tools to wield their Presence as a competitive advantage.
I’ve worked effortfully to mechanize Presence systems that are both scientifically proven and culturally embraced—so you can be effortless in delivering your power and winning over absolutely anyone, including those who will unlock your goals.
And behind it all is my heart and visibility. All of this experience has not only allowed me to create the powerful systems you’ll use to become a magnetic force, but has given me the discerning eye to see your unique beauty and motivations—and the deep passion to be someone you can count on as your champion.
It all started with my family of brilliant artists and business leaders…
I was steeped in diverse arts and culture, thanks to my older siblings.
Having a professional music and actor as your older brother, and a professional ballerina as your older sister is a fascinating dynamic to grow up within.
By five years old, I was practicing lines and character acting with my big brother, and being toted around to his commercial auditions around LA seeing an exciting assortment of people take on characters and personas.
There was no shortage of incredible inspiration for me throughout my entire life. Even as a young child I was awe-inspired by my family, and observing how they gained status through their interpersonal mastery, artistry, and bold ambition. In supporting you, I share a piece of my heart and their legacy with you.
I learned true class and elegance from my dear Grandmother, Elka, who led within many circles of Beverly Hills society.
As sister to my Great Uncle, Irv Robbins – Co-Founder of Baskin & Robbins ice cream – I dually experienced the realms of high society, and lessons from some of the most enterprising leaders and entrepreneurs.
From an early age - and to this day – it’s part of my identity and ambition.
The world is your runway. Grab my hand, and let’s step into your power.
Between his auditions I was in the viewing room of my sister’s ballet sessions, witnessing the unmatched physical beauty of ballet dancers, and the equally stunning rigor with which they trained.
This exposure to a rich diversity of arts, cultures, and people over the entirety of my life has given be the ability to see the unique beauty and artistry within all of us.

PROFESSOR & SCHOLAR
I was taught how to gain power and status
My grandfather, Dick, showed me how to turn ambition into influence. Responsible for elevating the Port of Long Beach to the largest in the nation in the 1980’s through gaining the trust of East Asian leaders, he instilled in me the power of holding space for others through your presence.
I took the sparks of my experiences, curiosities, and ambition, and I ignited them into the diverse experience I bring to all those I serve today.
