About Ian Clarke

I am a graduate of the University of Utah at the David Eccles School of Business. As a Business Management major, I emphasized my learning in Organizational Leadership. I am interested in how individuals are led in professional and recreational settings. At the University of Utah and outside of university I am an active learner. While pursuing my degree, I completed coursework in ethics, leadership, accounting, finance, economics, global business, philosophy, and computer science. Along the way, I have completed supplementary coursework in marketing, audio engineering, and music production. In my time outside of work, I like to play instruments, produce music, be creative, and spend time out in nature. I am a living example of learning new skills and practicing to master them. I am open to any opportunities for collaboration within the realm of music and audio engineering. Check out my portfolio!
