Evan Morgan-Newpher Job
Evan is a self-taught baker and has a track record of following his dreams. He was 20 when he decided to switch from an Accounting degree to Zoology so that he could fulfill a childhood wish and train elephants. Even foodnetwrk.com pointed out that when he sets his sights on something, there is no stopping him.
This passion for zoology explains his current job as a manager/zookeeper at The Tulsa Zoo.
Here’s a little behind-the-scenes story on how Evan started baking.
Several years ago, Evan had hurt his back and, being an elephant trainer at the time, he was out of work for a couple of weeks. That is when he fell in love with Netflix’s Great British Baking Show. A few months later his partner Jared got him that season’s cookbook (in the picture) for his birthday. Evan thus began baking his way through it, and the rest is history.
By the look of things, Evan was in a competition called Greatest Bake (2020) and nearing the semifinals back in November 2020.
