Ian is a firefighter with the City of Windsor, having completed his Bachelor’s in Kinesiology at the University of Toronto. Throughout his degree he worked as a Combat Engineer in the military, which, combined with his educational background, led to working for Defence Research and Development Canada. Working in the Biomechanics division fueled his passion for using technology to improve fitness and resulted in a deeper understanding of what is happening in the body when movement occurs. Through fire recruitment, Ian was subjected to many VO2 max tests, yet another measurable means of assessing movement beyond what can be seen. It has been said that “what can be measured can be managed” and Ian hopes to take this further, believing that “what can be measured, can be improved.”
