Back in 1988, Ian founded an enterprise dedicated to providing hardware, software, supplies, and consulting for systems that use bar code and RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies. In 2013, he sold the business and continued consulting in the industry. When faced with declining desire for folks to hire his consulting services, he turned to website design and consulting. After all, he’d designed and built websites since the dawn of the internet for his business, his wife’s business, his church, etc. and it just seemed like a natural progression!
So, after beginning with FrontPage over two decades ago and then hitching his wagon to the DNN (DotNetNuke) CMS, he finally saw the proverbial WordPress light and began working with it a couple of years ago. Since then, he’s been immersed in all things WP and loves how it’s blossomed in the past couple of years with the advent of page builders. (Ian loves Elementor. Sorry WP hard cores.)
Ian lives in Spruce Grove with his wife and their furry son, Rufus (a husky). His only human son – and two grandchildren – live in Australia and he visits them as much as he can.
