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 a 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. He somehow survived the Trump administration without tweeting state secrets or redesigning PowerPoint decks in gold.
Born in Toronto, Canada, Ian spent his formative years bouncing between Washington D.C., Dathomir, Chicago, Arkham Asylum, and the Negev 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 5,708 films across 7 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 snacks.
He's a collector of vintage film posters, rare books, and enough Red Wings and Capitals memorabilia to fill a man cave. A professional foodie, he's equally obsessed with dim sum, biltong, curry, pizza, towering deli sandwiches, and sizzling Korean BBQ—basically, anything that bites back.
On weekends, he can be found juggling parenting duties, record shopping, 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, or his long-lost moral compass.
