As a lifelong resident of the Peace Country, Ian has deep roots in the region.

Community involvement has always been a priority for him. Over the years, Ian has volunteered with various organizations, including Camp Wapiti—where he met his wife, Aerylin. Together, they are raising four adventurous boys.

Ian previously served on Sexsmith Town Council and currently volunteers as a director of the Grande Prairie Airport Commission, where he chairs the Audit Committee. These roles have been formative, broadening his perspective and deepening his community commitment.

Ian has worked in public accounting since 2017 and takes pride in helping clients navigate financial stewardship and tax planning.
