Ian lives in Las Vegas Nevada, and loves spending time in nature, writing poetry/novels, reading, yoga, skiing and hanging out with his dog Jaxon. He is a university student at UNLV in the Creative Writing and Literature department.

Ian discovered yoga and eastern philosophy over a decade ago. He fell in love with meditation, reading modern and classical texts and how asana made him feel. At university, Ian has taken upper division courses in Buddhism, Hinduism, Shamanism, Daoism, Eastern Philosophy and studied many texts from the East in his literature classes. In his poems, novels and future graduate thesis, Ian incorporates yoga and the east in a variety of ways.
