Ian’s primary interests include surfing Del Mar breaks like 12^th Street, platform extensibility, shaping surfboards, AJAX development for user experience, eating omelets for Sunday breakfast, and creative uses for the Connect API.  If Ian had three wishes, no species would ever go extinct, Monday would not exist, and his dog would be potty trained.

Ian loves working at Blackbaud Internet Solutions because he gets to see clients exceed their fundraising expectations, deliver cutting edge products and work with the most knowledgeable people in the nonprofit community.  Ian’s role as VP of Product Development makes him black belt of Sphere secrets, keeper of sacred product roadmap, and evangelist of new product offerings.

Ian has received BA from University of Pennsylvania, where he majored in Economics.  If you have ideas for new Sphere features, please let Ian know over at the Product Management Whiteboard.
