Before joining GMS, Ian served as a Program Director at the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED), where he led staff development, conducted trainings, interpreted regulations, and explored commercial real estate opportunities. He managed multimillion-dollar programs, including the state’s $96 million Community Development Block Grant – COVID-19 (CDBG-CV).
