Ian was born in Liverpool, Western Sydney and grew up in a military family where his father served as Warrant Officer Class 2 at the School of Military Engineering. His mother also served prior to having her first child and retrained as a nurse after raising four children.

In 1999 his father was medically retired, and they moved to Grafton. He finished schooling in 2001 and moved out on his own and started working in the trades – building cool rooms, refrigeration, carpentry, concreting and bridge building. He was a sole trader for over ten years, travelling for work.

In 2008, he joined Fire and Rescue NSW at Grafton Station as a Retained Firefighter. This was his childhood dream, and he worked his way up to the rank of Deputy Captain at Coffs Harbour Station.
