In case you didn\u2019t believe me the first time, I am INDEED Ian D. Mahon. I am a writer, reporter, and copy editor here to showcase my best work (and thoughts sometimes, too). I lived in Washington, D.C. for eight years, writing news stories on a variety of topics such as homelessness, cybersecurity, disaster-relief fundraisers, exiled political prisoners and activists, and much, much more. There&#8217;s never a shortage of incredible life stories happening every day, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ianmahon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/A-growing-Ian-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"EE at Sandy Hook, 2017.\" class=\"wp-image-252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ianmahon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/A-growing-Ian-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ianmahon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/A-growing-Ian-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ianmahon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/A-growing-Ian-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ianmahon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/A-growing-Ian-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ianmahon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/A-growing-Ian-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Great adventures happen when people wander a bit off course.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">News experience aside, I&#8217;m an easy-going, outdoorsy, curious person always working on a project, like this one! I love brainstorming, writing fiction, and just about anything related to gaming, food, animation, travel, stars, or tattoos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">If you&#8217;ve got a great sense of humor, and love spicy food, horror movies, anime, and punchy, off-the-wall conversation, I&#8217;ll probably ask you to be my roommate (just say no). Either way, we&#8217;ll get along just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">Thanks again for visiting my website! Stay tuned for more because there are great pieces in the works! (There are, unfortunately, no free drinks at this time though I&#8217;m aiming to get a Gatorade fountain installed soon).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need copyediting services (or consider yourself a source of exciting news stories), feel free to contact me on my contact page when I figure out how to use an email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Little Bit More About &#8216;E&#8217;&#8230; Hello and welcome to my page!
