Ian was born in Australia, a descendant from Irish ancestors who migrated to Australia in 1850. He is an electrical engineering graduate from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and is a Fellow of Engineers Australia.

Ian developed an admiration for the contribution migrants have made to engineering in Australia through living in the Latrobe Valley Region of Victoria while working with the State Electricity Commission of Victoria (SECV). He was so intrigued by the challenge of learning a foreign language as an adult, and developing the language skill to a level suitable for holding down a job, he learnt German and travelled to work in Germany and Switzerland 1975.

Following the privatisation of the SECV, Ian moved on into the private sector and has worked in senior engineering management positions for major engineering companies in Melbourne. He has empathy for the challenges facing migrants, and has mentored migrant engineers settling in Australia.
