He has been a great contact and networker, even years after working with him, which shows his commitment to others and taking care of people!”

-Daniel Farra (COO, Family First)

“Ian is quite remarkable to say the least. I have collaborated with Ian on numerous items over the years and I remain impressed at his commitment to work and family, organizational and leadership skills, and his extensive knowledge of the business. Ian's problem-solving abilities are uncommonly robust and he adapts these when improving company efficiency and revolutionizing its processes and services.

However it's one thing to make it look good on paper; it's another to prove it through successful application. This is perhaps Ian's most inspiring trait. He can work both white collar and blue collar to an extent I've not encountered before. He has a ridiculous ability to generate thorough presentations, financial projections, training materials and more with a speed and clarity you won't find elsewhere. At the same time, his relationship building and training skills earn the respect of those in the field. He wants everyone to succeed, knows how to make that happen, and can prove it in and out of the office. This is rare and deserved recognition.

Rounding him out is his infectious personality and positive attitude. He doesn't have to rule with an iron fist because those working for him WANT to work hard. They know Ian will give themselves and their company the tools they need to be successful and develop their careers. I have seen this first hand on many occasions and it is humbling to see someone of his caliber in action. Having Ian on any team would be an essential step toward a prosperous future.”

-Grant Arle (Director, Delivery Lead at WillowTree)
