Biographie

Farmer was born in Asmara, Eritrea. He is named after his father, Dr. Evan Ragland Farmer, a dermatologist. His mother, Jamison Holdren Farmer, died on August 20, 2007 from post-op infection from surgery to remove a bowel obstruction (she previously survived breast cancer and ovarian cancer), sparking more of Farmer's diligent charity work. Evan, Jr., is the only one in his immediate family who did not go into the medical field. He has two sisters, Molly and Eliza; Eliza is 2 years older, Molly 4 years younger.

Farmer has been married to Andrea M. Smith since October 2006, and lives with her in Nashville with their dog Sally. His wife gave birth to a son Garrison in 2009 and a second son Ford in 2012.

Farmer is a graduate of Tulane University in New Orleans, where he was a member of the Alpha Omicron chapter of Sigma Chi.

Farmer is also a real estate investor with properties in Louisiana and Tennessee.

Farmer is a licensed pilot and, in 2008, built his own single engine plane in only 11 days and flew it solo across country in another 9 days, setting a yet-to-be verified world record.
