[[File:IanReedeUIFProfilePic2.jpg|thumb|IanReedeUIFProfilePic2.jpg]]My name is Ian Reede; I am in my third year at Kent State University, studying business with a focus in entrepreneurship. I aspire to build an infrastructure around the needs of students struggling to find their way in the current education climate. I look to accomplish this change with the knowledge I am gaining through work with [http://hacksu.cs.kent.edu Hacksu], [https://khe.io Kent Hack Enough], Black Stone [https://www.kent.edu/blackstonelaunchpad BlackStone Launchpad], [https://www2.kent.edu/cebi/lab.cfm John S. Brinzo Entrepreneurship Laboratory], as well as my work as a cook in the culinary field. The goal is to build an understanding of how people of many different backgrounds, work, create, and play together. Currently, My goal is to build a business using solely reasources and students, available on the kent campus. The purpose is not only to build a viable product in the Kent state entrepreuship ecosystem that would benefit the student population, but also to develop a better understanding of how far we have yet to go.
While I Still have much room to grow, the journey and progress is my favorite part. When I am not busy thinking of ideas to improve the world around me, I enjoy traveling to the coastal regions of the united states, as well as other countries abroad. At home I am an avid exprimentor in the kitchen, not but for a few times using a recipe.
