Recently an adult, I'm re-imagining what's next. I'm not sure if I can properly contain it within this website, but I'm gonna give it a shot.

ARTICULATE DRAWL
I am a creator, philosopher, and performer that is not afraid to execute or experience... and thrive with the right mix of people around me.
ABOUT ME

My entire life, I’ve struggled to explain who I am and what I do.  I’m not an ‘expert’ in my field.  I’m not a ‘master’ of my niche.  I’m simply a lover of creation, adventure, and beauty.   I am not defined by the work I do or the skills I have, but by the relationships I’ve built and experiences I’ve enjoyed.

I grew up in the deep south. This means that gospel music and southern drawls were expected. I had no place in pageants or sports, but I took the most fashionable path towards a stage-worthy, storytelling, future I could manage.  Actually, the truth is that I was the stereotypical nerd of the early eighties.  I played the violin.  I loved my computer.  I sang in the choir. I was into ‘Disney’. If it wasn’t for those cool jams shorts that my mom made for me, I would have been a total outcast.  My childhood was magical.  I want that for my kid too.

Since those humble upbringings, I’ve been lucky enough to participate in a diverse, variety of experiences….   If I had to distill my passions into a single statement, I guess I would say that “I love to create”. Whether it be videos, songs, technology, spaces, gardens, meals, ideas, experiences or babies… I am fuckin’ down.  I love to think about it, talk about it, and then do it.  My intention for this ianfay.com ‘rebirth’ is to talk about all the things I’m involved with and believe in.  Maybe after 40 years I’ll be able to articulate… despite this drawl.
