“We are very pleased to add Evan to the show in such an important role,” says XRCO Chairman Dirty Bob. “The Hall of Fame is a very important part of the XRCO and we needed the right person to take over this vital task. Evan is already a Hall of Famer and is still one of the biggest names in the business. He skillfully bridges the gap between the stars of yesteryear and the future of the industry. Evan is the perfect choice to be the gatekeeper to the most hallowed circle of the XRCO.”

“It is a great honor to be taking over this position at this year’s XRCO Awards Show,” says Evan. “For over thirty years, this event has recognized the very best our industry has to offer. To be part of an event that is the culmination of years of hard work for people I admire and have worked with is really cool.”
