A proud graduate of Gonzaga University with a degree in Broadcast Media, Ian began his career as a news and sports anchor/reporter in Southern Utah. He has also worked as a reporter in Central Texas.
Ian has covered a wide variety of stories in the Bay Area.

Ian is married and has two children. As a native of the Central Valley, but raised in Washington state, he’s happy to be back in California.
