Bo Evans

Homegrown in Northern California, just east of San Francisco, Bo grew up spoiled with the best weather on the planet. For 17 years, he never knew how good he had it until he moved to Maryland for school and experienced the brutal East Coast humidity. After that, Bo got a taste of those biting Midwest winters, then the Florida sunshine, followed by the Rocky Mountains. He's excited to get a little taste of this Texas heat!

Before coming to CBS News Texas, Bo covered stories around the country for all 60+ of the local stations for the E.W. Scripps Company for Scripps News. he was spending a lot of time on planes that led him to many interesting places from hunting pythons in the Florida Everglades to the steps of the Capitol on January 6. He's excited to see what kind of stories he can tell in North Texas.

Journalism was not his first path in life. He thought he would be working in politics. After graduating college, he worked for a polling firm in Seattle and then on a congressional campaign in his home district in California. But after helping the candidate earn a victory, he thought about another career path: broadcast journalism. So, he went out and got an internship at the local sports radio station and then applied to journalism school. He was lucky enough to be accepted to his Alma mater the University of Maryland. At Maryland, he was a part of the Philip Merrill College of Journalism, where he went from not knowing how to use a camera to producing award-winning packages for our student-run news program.

After almost eight years in TV news, with stops in Bismarck, N.D., Fort Myers, Fla., and Denver, Bo is really excited to call North Texas home. He can't wait to start producing quality journalism and talking about the great stories here. If you have a story you want to tell, shoot him an email at bo.evans@cbs.com.
