Ian, a Region Manager with Easy Roots, was born in Des Moines and moved to Arizona a few years later in 1992. He attended school at Most Holy Trinity Catholic School, Bourgade Catholic High School, and later graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Sociology respectively. After graduating college, Ian went on to become a compliance officer for a large military aircraft importing and exporting company. Ian calls Arizona his home base, having lived in Glendale and Downtown Phoenix, and now resides in Chandler with his wife, Cassie, and daughter, Ayla. His family’s hard work comes in place of wanting to provide the best life they can for their dog, Bruce Wayne – A Boxer and Labrador mix whom he says looked like a baby bat when they adopted him. Ian feels eager to be a part of Oakwood Creative Care’s family because it gives him the opportunity to be a good role model and make a positive impact on the world. Ian’s adopted mother, who passed away last month, started Nightingale Homecare, the largest independent homecare agency in Arizona specializing in care for patients with dementia. Ian says his adopted mother instilled the importance of care and compassion for others, especially the elderly.
