Deputy Editor 4 X 4 Australia

Evan Spence – Deputy Editor, 4x4 Australia

A failed rockstar and lover of anything with two diffs and a transfer case, Evan Spence has been writing for 4X4 magazines since 2002, after pestering a publisher to let him do work experience on school holidays.

He's since held titles including Photojournalist, Deputy Editor and Editor of many off-road publications – both print and digital.

Evan has also spent time working in 4x4 shops around Sydney, but ultimately off-road media is his passion. That and rusty old Suzuki 4x4s, but we best leave that alone...
