Our Team
Josh Evans
Founder of Evans Surgical
Would you believe Josh got his start fishing lobster off the coast of California? True story, but we’ll save that for another day. In 2008, Josh put his lobster traps behind him and began a training program with OrthoPro, small foot and ankle device company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. He made his way back to his hometown of Kansas City, Missouri, as a sales representative for OrthoPro and eventually founded his own distributorship, Evans Medical.
Prior to selling to Wright Medical in 2014, Evans Medical represented lines including OrthoPro, MMI, MedShape, BME, OrthoHelix, Tornier Extremity Company and Solana Surgical throughout Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and southern Iowa. Once sold, Josh joined Wright Medical as District Sales Manager, leading his territory to win District of the Year with the highest sales growth in the country.
Josh left the comforts of the corporate world in 2017 to found Evans Surgical, where he leads a small but mighty team to, yet again, make a splash in the foot and ankle industry.

Senior Sales Director
Gabe started in the medical device industry with Evans Medical in 2011 and made his move to Wright Medical with Josh in 2013. While at Wright Medical, Gabe quickly became a top device specialist and he was part of the team who won District of the Year for highest sales growth in the country. After gaining valuable experience with a large manufacturer, Gabe joined Evans Surgical in 2017 as Senior Sales Director to bring the most cutting-edge extremity technology to the market.
Throughout his career, Gabe has developed and maintained deep relationships with surgeons, their staff and facilities as an expert who always puts patient-outcomes above all else.
