Editor in Chief, Ian White has prowled the consumer audio, home cinema, and A/V landscape since 1998, writing 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 a former Lead Copywriter, navigating the shadowy back corridors of engineering and cybersecurity for clients across Maryland, Virginia, and New Jersey—where NDAs are thicker than steel doors, three-letter agencies lurk in the corners, and even the coffee machines might be listening.
Born in Toronto, Canada, Ian’s formative years were a patchwork of Washington D.C., Dathomir, Chicago, Arkham Asylum, and Northern Israel before settling into the Garden State and Florida—because normal geography was clearly off the table.
He was conceived at a drive-in (yes, really) and has since logged over 5,727 films across eight countries, though he still insists he only waited seven days, not eight, to see The Phantom Menace—and brought enough biltong for everyone.
A collector of vintage film posters, books, and enough Red Wings and Capitals memorabilia to stock a small space cruiser, Ian is also a professional foodie and former pizza maker. His obsessions span dim sum, biltong, curry, pizza, deli sandwiches, pho, and Korean BBQ—anything with a bite.
Weekends find him juggling parenting duties, digging through records, scribbling in a Hemingway-inspired shawl cardigan, rewatching movies he’s already memorized, firing slapshots against the garage door like it’s Game 7, and casting into the Atlantic Gulfstream in pursuit of dinner, inspiration, and what's left of his moral compass.
