Richard Evans
Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder, CyberMyte

My life has been a story of technology, service, and family, taking me from contributing to an ISP startup as a teenager to leading cybersecurity ventures across the globe. My career began in the U.S. Navy and has since spanned Italy, Germany, and across the U.S., allowing me to lead critical infrastructure projects for the Department of Defense, NetApp, Red Hat, and Google. Along the way, my greatest accomplishments have been personal: welcoming my two daughters, meeting my wife Yvonne and her wonderful children, and finally having our son. Now settled in Florida, Yvonne and I run CyberMyte, a company driven by our passion to help small businesses succeed. As a proud father of five—two of whom are now U.S. Army soldiers (go Navy!)—and a devoted husband, I balance my professional life with a love for BJJ and long-distance running, currently preparing for a charity run across Florida to support veterans and their families.
