“I was super passionate about it,” Ian says. “Now I practice maybe an hour a day, branching out from classical piano to different styles, like boogie-woogie, jazz, 12-bar blues… I try to learn one or two pieces every three months, just finding something I like on YouTube and memorizing it.”
Ian came to HIS through a recruiter, and he admits he hadn’t previously considered working in technology or real estate.
“I work out once or twice a week, go to the gym, I play volleyball or spikeball with friends at the beach, and I like to go hiking,” he says. “But while I used to be more athletic, into wrestling and lifting weights, now I’m trying to develop my brain muscles.”
Even with his varied interests, Ian says he is goal oriented, and carefully organizes each day, from hours working, spending time with family and friends, practicing piano, reading, and exercising.
