Ian

Accounting

Ian has lived a lot of places - from Kentucky to Texas - but Elkins is his favorite so far. And no, he doesn't just have to say that because he also works at D&E College. He enjoys books of almost all types, but especially science fiction, African fiction, and theology. He tries his best to not build his personality entirely around music, literature, and movie knowledge, but sometimes fails.
