Year Started- 2008
Hometown- Snellville, Georgia
Birthday- 08/23
How long have you been doing improv?- 4 years
Favorite Game- Crazy Hillbilly Hijinks
Favorite Word- skidoosh

Bio- Ian has spent many moons on the stage. Way back in high school there was musical theater, and in college there was a little bit of Shakespeare. However, one fateful freshman day, there was a full moon, and the planets had aligned, and he had just eaten a particularly tasty Pita that he became involved in the Berry College improv troupe "Easy Baked Improv". There was no going back. Four wonderful years were spent with friends making people laugh. There were good times, bad times, hard times, easy times, and lots of other times, but in the end fun was had lessons were learned and the story was eventually made into an afterschool special. Sadly, after college terrible things happened, things like -- graduate school, and -- internships, and -- really time consuming and stressful jobs that prevented Ian from improving. However, with his recent move to the DC area comes a renewed effort towards truth, justice, and the completely made up way.
