The decision to begin Fortress of The Bear was all the impetus she needed to make Sitka her home. Without any prior knowledge of bears\, her love of nature and her commitment to honoring the stewardship of the wilderness laid the path forward on the all-encompassing project and bring their vision to fruition. Evy was raised in Los Angeles and as a single mother raised her 2 daughters in the wilds of LA.A bachelor's degree in Sociology led to a teaching position in the Los Angeles School district\, where she taught math and science.

After her children were grown she moved to Portland\, Oregon where she met Les at a mutual friends home.
