Evan Slaughter  is from Birmingham, Alabama. Evan joined the Army as an infantryman in 2010 and deployed to Afghanistan in 2011 where he was awarded a Purple Heart and combat infantry badge. After getting out of the Army in 2014, he returned to Alabama and worked in multi-family real estate as well as operations management for a local plumbing company. In 2022 he decided to pursue his passion for comedy and began making comedy videos on Tik Tok and Instagram where he quickly found success. Evan learned pickleball in 2021 and fell in love with the sport immediately!  He began incorporating pickleball comedy into his content creation in early 2022 and has become one of the most recognized content creators in both the pickleball and CrossFit space.  Evan hopes that his story inspires others to never give up, and that with the right mindset and community, they can completely transform their lives and become the best version of themselves.
