Michael P. Evans (M.P.E) began his prosperous career as a model in 1980.  He spent all of his spare time in the gym, sculpting his body for his entrance into the European market.  He would test with any and every photographer he could find in the streets of New York to make his dream of modeling a reality. 

Finally, someone was willing to give the boy from Baltimore a chance.  Kay Mitchell, owner of Legends Modeling Agency gave him the one opportunity he was looking for.  With her company, Michael acquired three major campaigns; Harvey Bristol Cream, Apppleéssence (hair product) and Benson & Hedges cigarettes.  His exotic good looks and slender figure made Michael one of the most marketable models in his time, which is unusual because unlike other models, Michael began his career at the age of thirty. 

Before Michael hit the streets of New York he was a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines.  He was the first African-American male to hold such a position.  He traveled to Milan, Paris, and all over the U.S.  In doing this Michael experienced what is required for most models, travel.  He knew that he wanted to journey back to these places some day but under different circumstances.  He knew that he wanted to return as a model.

After gaining recognition in New York, he continued his journey westward to Los Angeles, California.  He began modeling with Mary Webb Davis.  His first booking was for the “Broadway” and he his career really began to take off afterward.  The clients he went to work for liked Michael so much that he worked four days out of the week, which was extraordinary then and still very good now.  After competing in the L.A. market, Michael decided to return to New York to continue his prosperous modeling career, where, even today, Michael is still a successful model.
