Ian is a graduate of Round Rock High School and attended St Edward’s University in Austin, Texas. Having worked for a few years in the corporate world at Golfsmith, he left to work for In The Flesh Tattoo Studio in Austin, Texas. At In The Flesh, he served as both the marketing manager and events coordinator. In 2008, Ian and his friend/business partner, Chris Villarreal, founded Gwizsk Design. For Gwizsk he served as the marketing manager and as a social media marketing consultant. In 2008 he joined the team at Double Stereo (formerly CD Fuse) as their new Blog editor where he reviewed concerts, albums, and interviews for the popular music site. In January 2009, he became the Editor in Chief and owner of Austin Vida. Still not satisfied, he created a new online music blog, Red River Noise, with the help of his most talented writer and photographer friends. On any given night of the week, he can be found in downtown Austin on 6th Street and the Red River live music district.

When he is not interviewing bands or reviewing concerts, he is an assistant librarian at an elementary school where he helps students discover the best new adventure and fantasy series books as well as "Everybody" reads like Dr. Suess and Junie B. Jones. It is also at work that he has an after school book club called "The League of Extraordinary Readers." « less
