Ian started his construction career as a carpenter and excavator in Veneta, Oregon. Once he decided to shift his focus of a hopeful future in the NFL to working in the trades and eyeing an executive or ownership position, he has put drive and passion into his projects and crews. That passion mixed with his field experience has made Ian extremely relatable to field crews. This has made a lot of the difficult discussions much easier to communicate as he knows what the workers are talking about as he has faced the same hurdles while in the field himself.
