This section highlights the life and accomplishments of Julius L. Evans, who serves as the Senior Editor at Illumination Integrated Publications on Medium. A veteran of the United States Navy, Mr. Evans enlisted in 1980 as a Jet Engine Mechanic. After five years of maintaining advanced military aircraft, he decided to pivot to journalism.

Despite skepticism from many regarding his career transition, Mr. Evans successfully completed the Defense Information School of Journalism and became a Navy Journalist. From 1985 until his retirement in 2000, he covered a wide range of topics, from military aviation to the leaders behind these operations. His skills as a public affairs expert include event planning, master of ceremonies, and exceptional communication.

In his leisure time, Mr. Evans dedicated 13 years to teaching traditional Japanese Go Ju Ryu and excelled as an amateur boxer for the U.S. Navy, finishing his career undefeated with a record of 5–0. He notably bench-pressed 315 pounds, a significant achievement that remains a benchmark in weightlifting.

Having traveled extensively, Mr. Evans has seen the world three times over, visiting countries such as Australia, Singapore, and India, among others. Notably, he was in the Philippines during the eruption of Mount Pinatubo and played a crucial role in a mission that saved thousands of lives.
