I’m Ian Loomer,
I like to build things.

I'm a creative operational executive with over 17 years of experience in creative production and agency management.

About Me

I started my first production company at 15 years old.
Weddings, events, school plays... Whatever I could sell my admittedly amateur services too. I borrowed equipment from my high school, paid my friends to help run camera, and sold DVD's to make a profit.

It's been an life long passion ever since...

Throughout my career I've been fortunate to work with groundbreaking enterprise entities and inspiring SMB's. I've supported companies through innovative activations, national campaigns, and events of all sizes. I love to make connections and integrations utilizing my experiences to provide unique and sustainable solutions for clients and teams.

When I'm not on set, or crafting Excel spreadsheets like a madman, you can find me seeking out new adventures with my family, in search of the perfect Old Fashioned, or out in my woodshop doing my best Ron Swanson impression.
