Courtney Evans founded Hoods Unlimited in February 2002 with a clear vision: to become the Southeast’s most trusted partner in commercial kitchen facility services. More than two decades later, that vision continues to guide the company’s growth and reputation for excellence.

His leadership is marked by a commitment to quality, safety, and building strong, lasting relationships with clients and employees alike.

Born in Indiana and raised in Georgia, Courtney studied at the University of Georgia before following his entrepreneurial path. Inspired by his father’s example and driven by a desire to protect communities through safer, cleaner kitchens, he has built a company grounded in faith, family, and service.

Outside of work, Courtney enjoys mountain biking, hiking, exercising, and reading. He and his wife, Laura, have been married for nearly 20 years and are the proud parents of seven children: Caden, Whit, Hudson, Jordan, Finley, Hannah, and Damion.
