He was an avid reader as a child, but as he grew older, he often wished he could see more characters like him and his friends in the books he read. He had always loved creative writing, so he decided to try writing his own. Ian graduated from Drexel University magna cum laude with a B.S. in Music Industry, dual minors in Communication and Business Administration, and a Certificate in Creative Writing and Publishing. He loves to listen to music, binge trashy TV, and cuddle with his dog.view less
