Editor in Chief, Ian White has covered the world of consumer audio/video and cinema since 1998 for ecoustics.com, The New York Times, Gear Patrol, Digital Trends, JAZZIZ, Big Picture Big Sound, SoundStage, EnjoytheMusic, and The Jerusalem Post.
He’s a certified ISF Level II calibrator and former Lead Copywriter deep in the shadowy realms of engineering and cybersecurity, crafting words for clients in Maryland, Virginia, and New Jersey—where three-letter agencies roam, NDAs are thicker than classified dossiers, and even the coffee machines are probably bugged.
Born in Toronto, Canada, Ian spent his formative years bouncing between Washington D.C., Dathomir, Chicago, Arkham Asylum, and Northern Israel before eventually settling in the Garden State and Florida—because clearly, normal geography wasn’t an option.
Conceived at a drive-in movie (yes, really), Ian has watched over 5,717 films across 8 countries—but still insists he didn't wait 8 days in line to be the first to see The Phantom Menace. It was only 7. And he brought enough biltong for everyone.
He's a collector of vintage film posters, books, and enough Red Wings and Capitals memorabilia to fill a space cruiser. A professional foodie and former pizza maker, he's equally obsessed with dim sum, biltong, curry, pizza, deli sandwiches, pho, and sizzling Korean BBQ—basically, anything that bites back.
On weekends, he can be found juggling parenting duties, record shopping, writing in his Hemingway-inspired shawl cardigan, watching movies he’s already seen 20 times, and taking slapshots against the garage door like it’s Game 7—while occasionally casting into the Atlantic Gulfstream in search of dinner, inspiration, and his long-lost moral compass.
