Who is Ian?
I’ve taught in a gifted classroom since 2007 and was a GATE student myself from first through sixth grade. Before becoming a teacher, I worked with high school students at a church, elementary children with special needs, and kids of all ages at the Boys and Girls’ Club.
My background is in computer science and I still love to dabble in programming 
Recently I’ve created: Extend A Menu to help teachers develop extension menus.
I’m married to an incredible jewelry/fashion/graphic designer who now works as a designer of women’s apparel at DC Shoes.
Finally, all of the opinions expressed on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent those of the Garden Grove Unified School District.
