Under the mentorship of the late Dr. William Murphy III and Dr. Daniel Rosales (both alumni of Stanford Geophysics), Ian learned many geophysical field methods including sub-bottom seismic, side-scan sonar, ground-penetrating radar, mobile LiDAR, and 3-dimensional acoustic imaging. In little over a year, Ian earned the position of Field Manager for both land and water operations at e4. He learned to pilot survey vessels up to 18 m (60 ft) in all weather and traffic conditions in the New York/New Jersey Harbor region, earning enough ship hours to be certified to pilot near-coastal vessels up to 91 metric tons (100 short tons).

His formative years were also spent outside, running, cycling, and Nordic skiing through the Green and White Mountain regions of New England, where he began to question how these landscapes came to their present (beautiful) configuration.
