Chandler Evans
An alumni and former coach with the Herriman Rugby program, Chandler has been with Mountain Ridge since the formation of the club. He has also previously been with Utah Valley University at the college level as a player-coach. Coaching rugby is his passion, even more so than playing. Always seeking to grow in experience, he also spent the 2022 season as a Team Operations Intern with the Utah Warriors. Other than rugby, Chandler also loves to spend time with his wife and 3 children, and enjoys sports of many varieties.
Semisi Tonga
I have known about the sport my whole life but started to play organized rugby when I moved to Utah. Which was when I was 13. I have coached for 8 years.
I kind of just hangout with my girlfriend and my friends when I’m not at home playing games or watching a show.
I have torn my ACL four times and twice in high school. Both my knees are busted up and I already have arthritis at the age of 26.
