About Ian
When I moved to Colorado in 2006, I had no idea I would have found my wife, started a family (3 year old, Tenley), and planted my roots in this beautiful state! I am originally from Walnut Creek , California. I came to Colorado to pursue Veterinary Medicine, but slowly started to figure out that I would rather be outdoors all day and spend my time around the game that raised me! I graduated from Colorado State University in 2011 with Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and a second Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Horticulture. My first job out of school was actually here at Black Bear! I then spent two seasons at Blackstone, and four of the past years as the Assistant Superintendent at The Pinery. Outside of work I love boating, hiking, snowboarding, painting, and the occasional DYI project! Black Bear Golf Club has many meanings for me and I am very excited to be here preserving its long history of great golf and providing the best conditions in Colorado!
