Ian House is a father, author, and perpetually-disappointed baseball fan from San Diego. He graduated from the University of Arizona with two unmarketable majors just in time to experience the Great Recession first hand.

Good luck landed him a union job with a for-cause termination clause while his friends and family lost their jobs, their houses, their retirements, their lives. Now, more than a decade later, the housing market is booming and, much like the forgotten parts of California on the rural-suburban line he writes about, that Recession has disappeared from popular memory, the trauma it left behind never fully processed. Ian is determined to make sure the stories of the people whose lives were shattered live on.

Ian lives north of San Diego with his wife and daughter. He spends most of his time watching Star Trek and attending rabbit tea parties.
