About Ian Austin

My life has been an adventure. Starting 10 years ago, I decided to stop climbing telephone poles and start climbing the corporate ladder. Join me as I climb one rung at a time. Have you ever wanted more out of life? I remember going to work 10 years ago and asking myself that very question. I needed a spark that would help me create the life that I wanted to live and not the one that I was living. After that day, I registered at the University of Memphis and I was on the track to complete greater things I was reminded as graduation loomed closer, what am I going to do now? There were several options that came to mind. First, I could continue to work at the company that didn’t value personal growth and learning or I could find something new. I found an internship and never looked back. Here is a list of characteristics that describes my character: 1) Ambitious 2) Leader 3) Team player 4) Supportive 5) Curious Reach out to me i••••••••@fedex.com. I want to build a stronger network of relationships with like-minded people.
