It is literally his job to help teams, but he's here since well before you've been involved, and the impact Evan has had on teams across the state, but especially in the Twin Cities area, is nothing short of incredible. The efforts he continuously goes to in order to help teams in this state across every program are incredible.

Edit: If you're talking about "why are these teams started with $5000 and no support", I really don't know, other than guessing that FIRST's push for growth made this seem like the logical step forward to those in charge here. While I appreciate the amount of effort to connect these teams to money, you need a LOT more than money to run an effective FRC team.
