Please welcome to the CANA Team Adam Evans, Principal Operations Research Analyst, and Donovan Holloway, Senior Project Manager! We are excited to have Adam and Donovan a part of our team. Get to know them below!
Adam Evans
Principal Operations Research Analyst
“Only Socrates knew, after a lifetime of unceasing labor, that he was ignorant. Now every high-school student knows that. How did it become so easy?” - Allan Bloom
Adam has a little over 22 years of experience stretching across intelligence analysis, campaign analysis, and more recent analysis of operational energy capabilities. He spent nearly 20 years living in Asia where his time in naval service and later work for a COCOM staff was separated by a few years studying Korean and attending graduate school in Seoul. Over the years, Adam cobbled together degrees in Finance, Korean, History, and Statistics and has finally figured out what he wanted to do when he grew up. His last 15 years have been spent studying maritime operations in campaign contexts. Adam joins CANA as a Principal Operations Research Analyst focusing on projects that explore the impact of operational energy on combat performance. In his personal time, he enjoys gardening, reading, and fishing. Every year Adam tries to find time to read his favorite book, Silas Marner.
