During the course of his bodybuilding career, Centopani has consistently placed high in competition.

In 2007, he won the superheavyweight class and overall title for the NPC National Bodybuilding & Fitness Championships, where he earned his pro card.
On May 16, 2009, at his pro debut, Evan Centopani won first place at the New York Pro show at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York.
In a February 8, 2010 interview with Shawn Ray on MD Radio, Centopani announced that he would be taking the 2010 season off, and that he would not compete again until the 2011 Arnold Classic.
In February 2017, Centopani slipped on black ice outside his home, resulting in a serious fall which ruptured his left quadriceps tendon and required surgery to repair.
