A graduate of Reed College with a Master’s from Stanford University, Ian discovered his passion for admissions work while still a student.

His diverse educational experience has helped him successfully guide students of all interests, from those looking at large state schools, to others interested in small liberal arts colleges and the Ivy League. Ian holds a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Reed College and a master’s degree in policy, organization, and leadership studies from Stanford University.
