My name is Ian Cruess.

I have a natural burning desire to push the limits of my experience. I am an avid skier, snowboarder, mountain biker, and yogi. During my 13-year career as a wildland firefighter, I found an immense amount of growth and fulfillment as an adrenaline junky, taking it to the next level, while being of service to communities across the country. Believe it or not, intimate relationships are the hottest fire I have walked through. The internal conflict I experienced in relationships pervaded and undermined all aspects of my life. Taking responsibility for my internal battle led me to become a student at The Relationship School. I would not be as privileged as I am without the supportive and challenging relationships in my life either. That’s how I know a relationship is the most impactful and valuable investment I will ever make. In the Spring of 2020, I resigned from my position as a U.S.F.S. Smoke jumper to be of service on a more personal level. Today, I am a Certified Relationship Coach and an Ordained Minister. I would love the opportunity to serve you along your relational journey, in ceremony and far beyond. It takes a labor of love to leave a legacy of love!
