Ian started his career at the age of eight when he sent an ad concept to Pepsi-Cola. His idea was politely rejected, but the Marketing Manager sent him a pen and pencil set along with a note stating that "Someday a creative boy like you will be in the advertising business."

That prophecy came true as Ian’s career has taken him to agencies in Atlanta, Richmond, New York, and Phoenix. He has spent the last twenty years as both Executive Creative Director and Chief Creative Officer.

Ian’s work has been featured in The One Show, Communication Arts, OBIE Awards, Effie Awards, and National ADDY Awards.
