Born and raised in Calgary, Ian is honoured to deliver the news every weekday in his hometown.
A graduate of SAIT’s broadcast news program, Ian worked across Canada in Alberta, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick before joining CTV in Calgary.
Over the years, he’s interviewed hundreds of people who have had an impact on our community – from prime ministers, premiers and mayors, to musicians, authors, athletes, business leaders, medical experts and, most importantly, ordinary people.
He’s also provided live coverage of many provincial and federal elections.
Calgary-based Ian is very well acquainted with the city's neighbourhoods. He can tell you where every hockey arena in the city is and a corresponding coffee shop nearby.
Outside of work, Ian enjoys spending time with his wife, Kathleen, and children, Dylan, Bridget and Griffin.
Ian speaks English.
