Evans will primarily cover the north Denver metro area and US-36 corridor.

“Adding Juan to our team is a critical step in expanding our ability to serve small businesses in the metro Denver area,” said Ken Bauer, Elevations’ Vice President of Business Lending. “His experience and passion for his clients is readily apparent to all who have had the opportunity to work with him.”
