Who?

Chances are you can’t tell by now, but Ian’s interests are in improving businesses through creating innovative and exciting experiences for their end users. How this came to be is a long story, but here are some things which may help you figure out the method behind the madness.

In 2005, Ian created 4Q.cc, the website which created the “Chuck Norris Facts” meme. To date, 4Q has received in excess of 250 million pageviews and worldwide print, web, radio, and television coverage. The success of the website led Ian to become author of four companion books, The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 Facts About the World’s Greatest Human, which is a New York Times Bestseller, Chuck Norris vs. Mr. T: 400 Facts About the Baddest Dudes in the History of Ever; a third book was released in May, 2010 Chuck Norris Cannot Be Stopped: 400 All-New Facts About the Man Who Knows Neither Fear nor Mercy and The Last Stand of Chuck Norris: 400 Facts About the Most Terrifying Man in the Universe went on sale in the spring of 2011. One million copies are estimated to be in print by 2011.

After the success of 4Q, Ian, at the time still a student at Brown University, began focusing on practical and creative web application development and associated digital marketing. From 2008-2009 he served as president of the Brown University Entrepreneurship Program. Ian graduated from Brown in May, 2009 with a degree in cognitive neuroscience. Today, he is a member of the program’s advisory board and volunteers his time consulting startups. 

He currently is founder and CEO of Mobiquitous LLC, a mobile application development company and maker of PostcardsAnywhere.com and founder of What Is Awesome LLC, a new media production and consulting company which leverages his unique interests in human-computer interaction, behavioral research, decision making, culture, and technology to develop and grow new businesses and brands.

Ian has also spoken at a number of venues and events including Stanford University, The University of Chicago School of Law, and ROFLCon 2008 at MIT.

Ian knows this isn’t a particularly entertaining bio to read. Maybe you’d like to have a chat with him?
