Soon, you’ll also see him coaching adult classes as well. Please read below to learn a little about Ian…but more importantly, stop, say hi, and take a moment to get to know him — he can’t wait to meet all of you!
Ian grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, where his love of sports began with football and lacrosse. At Verona High School, he became a standout athlete, earning four varsity letters, leading his team to a State Championship, and leaving as the all-time leader in goals, points, and wins. He went on to play collegiate lacrosse at the University of Indianapolis, competing at the NCAA tournament level and becoming a 2x conference champion. Later, while earning his Master’s in Business Design and Innovation, he finished his NCAA eligibility as a team leader and All-Conference attackman.
Ian is also the Head Coach of Orono Varsity Lacrosse, where in his first year, he led the team to its best season in program history by fostering a culture of hard work, humility, and teamwork. an’s background in training for sports and training young athletes has made his introduction to FitHAUS pretty seamless. As he says, “Many of the movements we do in CrossFit workouts are all movements I’ve been doing for years, just not at this pace and volume”. Ian loves to push his limits physically and to try new things. Training with us at FitHAUS has been a fun and challenging way to train in his post-collegiate career.
Ian is truly the perfect blend of business expert, athlete, and coach — making him an incredible fit for leading FitHAUS into its next chapter. We’re so excited to have Ian joining the FitHAUS team, and we know his leadership, experience, and energy will be an incredible asset to our community. Be sure to say hello and give him a warm welcome when you see him around the HAUS!
