Ian attended Our Lady of Charity Private School in Hialeah, Florida for his Pre-K to 4th Grade elementary education. He then transferred elementary schools and completed 5th Grade at Miami Lakes Elementary School (now Miami Lakes K-8 Center). In 5th Grade, Miami-Dade County Public Schools inducted him into Florida’s Gifted Program, a very competitive and prestigious program in Florida.

Upon email solicitation from Emory University School of Law after learning of his high marks during his first year of law school at UF Levin College of Law, Emory Law School urged him to apply to transfer. Out on a wink of luck, Ian was accepted to Emory University School of Law as a transfer student.
