Ian holds a BS as well as an M.S.Ed. in Education from the University of Bridgeport. Taking a position as an educator in the Miami-Dade County Public School System and recognizing the need for additional educational resources, three years ago, Ian started a home tutoring service.

As a result, in June 2008, The Motivational Edge Inc. was formed. This is a federally recognized, 501(c)(3) organization which reaches many more students in need with the help of various community groups and leaders.
As founder CEO, Ian has assembled a vibrant team of experienced educators. Together, they are committed to excellence in education, and the success of everyone who is enriched by The Motivational Edge, Inc.
