He earned a BFA from the University of Akron in 1987 and an MFA from Ohio University in 1990. After teaching at the University of Akron and Oberlin College in Ohio and the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Everson became a Professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, where he continues to live and work.
