As stunt coordinator, Ian worked with: The History Channel, Biola University, & Last Chance Prods.; as stunt performer he has worked on: Star Trek: Enterprise; Timeline, Blood Work, Star Trek: Nemesis and others.  And he has done car prep for Fear Factor; and analyzed the trajectory & forces for launching a racecar off a bridge in Charlie's Angels. Ian has a mechanical engineering degree from Georgia Tech.  Ian's skills include: fights, falls, air rams, driving stunts, fire gags, scuba, & others. 

As an effects coordinator Ian has also coordinated features like: Land of Plenty (Wim Wenders), The Hollow, and The Profit;  he has been an effect technician or office coordinator on: The Last Samurai, We Were Soldiers, and Megiddo: Omega Code 2;  and he has been an effects technician on commercials for: Pepsi, IBM, Merrill Lynch, and Vidal Sassoon.  He holds a California Special Effects 3rd Class License.  His bag of tricks include: body burns, simulated gunfights, window breaks, air mortars and sparks. 

Also, Ian is a filmmaker with several shorts to his credit as writer, director and/or producer.  He also co-produced a feature western.  Of The Fall of Night Ian says,  "I really enjoy helping low budget movies get that dreamed of stunt.  It doesn't have to cost and arm and a leg and adds so much to the production value."
