Let’s face it: we can’t all do what we love, at a high level of excellence, reaching national prominence while still in our younger years. North Mankato native Evan Koch, however, has managed to scratch out a living within those tight specifications.
Now in his mid-thirties, Koch walked away years ago from a career in the marketing field that burned him out. He knew similar jobs would not put him on a sustainable path. In a bold move at the prodding of his wife, Koch soon chiseled himself a niche in the world of gun stocks.
You could say his second career ushered him quickly from stable past to checkered future.
