David Evans is a dedicated father, business owner, and entrepreneur living in the traditional territory of the T’Sou-ke Nation. With a degree in communications, he has built a diverse career in radio and as a writer for regional, national, and international magazines.

David’s career journey is marked by a decade of work as a farmer and horticulturist before he founded a maintenance gardening business in Victoria in 1995. Remarkably, in its early years, David’s business relied solely on hand tools and bicycles, fueled by countless granola bars—a testament to his commitment to sustainability and hard work.

From 2007 to 2023, David owned and operated Sooke’s beloved community hub, The Stick in the Mud Coffee House. In July 2023, he sold the café and bakery to a cooperative formed by staff, customers, and community members. He now focuses on his latest venture, the Stick in the Mud’s Coffee Roastoreum, a coffee wholesaler.

David brings a unique perspective to the political landscape, recognizing that the status quo cannot solve the problems it has created. Through his extensive work with the public, he has listened to the evolving concerns of his neighbors. In the Juan de Fuca Malahat riding, pressing community issues include traffic, the cost of living, housing insecurity, healthcare, political division, drought, and the climate crisis.
