Since about 1999 when he moved to Las Vegas – Ian has been traveling, learning, investing, building (and re-building) his skills. The constant pursuit of improvement and determination keeps him up late at night – testing, tweaking and polishing his skills.

Today formexperts.com processes hundreds of thousands of forms every day – in a simple, secure platform that people can rapidly implement into their websites.

Since 2012 Ian has been working on his latest project – www.socialsoap.me – designed to help people manage the social spam they receive. SocialSoap.me continually scans and cleans your social media profiles of spam, scams and unwanted comments.
