Ian is a Fort Smith native. He was born to Christian parents and from a young age had a mere head knowledge of God. At age 15, the Lord opened Ian’s eyes to his sinful depravity and need for a Savior. Through the proclamation of the gospel, God convicted Ian of his sin, drew him, and granted him faith and repentance.

Ian is a physician with Mercy Occupational Medicine. He holds an undergraduate degree from John Brown University and is graduate of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He and his wife, Leslie, reside in Fort Smith with their four children.

Ian has been a member of Chaffee Crossing Baptist Church since its inception in 2020. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family, working out, and cheering on the Razorbacks.
