"We also want to thank Kristyn for her years of service and leadership at a time when our state faced unprecedented challenges," Gov. Kemp continued. "Her intellect, skill, and countless hours of relentless work through multiple roles -- some of which she filled simultaneously -- helped our state weather many storms, both literal and figurative. We are happy to congratulate her on this new chapter and wish her and her family all the best in the coming years. We also want to thank Evan for his years of service and sacrifice, improving legislation and helping us streamline agency regulations and cut red tape so hardworking Georgians don't have to worry about government negatively impacting their lives or businesses. As his family moves to be closer to their loved ones, we wish them well in their next steps."

Prior to joining the Governor's staff, he worked in private practice with a focus on securities litigation, commercial litigation, antitrust law, state government, and government procurement.
