After years of working for free he finally decided to accept a paid position here at Sumpter & González. Within the first month he replaced everyone's computer, built a secure server and made our day-to-day operations run smoother. While he worries that his efforts may eventually put him out of a job, he continues finding ways to improve the Firm's information system. More than just an information technology specialist, though, Ian has a background in all things computer related. He worked for his father's architectural firm gaining CAD experience and is developing his own web design company as he finds the time.

As one might imagine, though, his time is limited as he balances a full schedule at UT with plenty of computer work at Sumpter & González. And yet he still manages to satiate his appetite for various hobbies and interests. He takes surfing trips to Mexico several times a year and while there brushes up on his fluent Spanish. He scuba dives, plays rugby and engages in a number of other refined athletic activities. In describing himself, he often employs the Computer Nerd archetype. Even at his nerdiest moments, however, when building PC towers or troubleshooting the server, Ian displays a coolness that comes only with broad and profound experience in areas across the board, from the arts and sciences to sportsmanship.
