He is an artistic associate of Stable Cable, with whom he has performed numerous times - most recently in Max Baker’s world premiere production of The Conspiracists. With Stable Cable Ian has also been seen on stage in Lindsay Joy's In the Event of My Death (directed by Indie Theater Hall of Famer Padraic Lillis), and prior to that Live from the Surface of the Moon also by Max Baker. In his spare time, Ian enjoys getting pointlessly frustrated with fantasy sports and video games, and reading comic books (he is 28). Everything he does he dedicates to his Mom who he cannot believe still puts up with him.
