Twenty-one year old Dan Evans hails from Frankfort, Illinois and is a talented rock and roll/country singer. Despite not making it big in Hollywood, this cool and funny young man has gathered a humble but loyal fan base. His parents put up a non-profit after school organization called Reach Out for Life Youth Foundation, for which he works as a camp counselor, entertaining kids through his music. Dan and his brother also once attempted to get a hunting show for themselves, and it goes to show how much Dan wants to be in the spotlight. His new year's resolution is to wear leather pants.

Dan and his mother, Jackie have gone through a lot together, considering that they both work in a company that was founded by their own family. Wanting to overcome their weight problem together, Dan and Jackie joined NBC's The Biggest Loser 5 as the Orange Team.  Dan initially weighed 310 lbs.
