Ian grew up swimming in the Pacific Northwest starting with West Coast Aquatics then transitioning to Gold’s Aquatics Club before for his last few years of high school. After graduating, Ian attended South Western Oregon Community College where he swam his freshman year before needing to withdraw from swimming due to an injury prior to college that interfered with competitive swim.Once returning to Washington in early 2016, Ian attended University of Washington while simultaneously becoming an assistant coaching for Golds where he helped with all groups from senior swimmers preparing for college to age groupers just starting their swimming journey.

Now, Ian calls Spokane, WA home and couldn't be more thrilled to bring his swimming experiences and enthusiasm to the Spokane Sea Serpents community. He's all about making a splash, inspiring athletes and families alike to dive into the world of swimming and enjoy every moment of the journey.
