Video Producer and Automotive Correspondent

Ian Whelan is AIN Publications’ full-time video producer, a lifelong auto enthusiast, and native of New Jersey. He joined us after working on projects for BBC America, The Criterion Collection, Google, Porsche, Land Rover and Aprilia. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. Ian grew up with historic cars, with his father constantly driving something interesting, taking him to car shows, and teaching him to turn a wrench. After getting very familiar with the nuts and bolts on a couple of classic Saabs, he acquired his dream car, a 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera. “There’s something special about cars that used to be designed and built by hand,” he says.
