Who is Ian Baker ?

 

Born and raised in the wilds of deepest Sussex, England.........Crawley in actual fact (hence the wild), I went to school at the Holy Trinity Church of England Secondary School.

At around the age of 13 or 14 I started to get involved in the drum corps activity, starting with the Crawley Vanguard, and ultimately ending up teaching the British Champion Southern Knights, and touring the States with the World Champion Blue Devils Drum and Bugle Corps (in fact me Phil Knight, Nigel Crabb and Darren Spill were the first Brits. to tour with them).

Somewhere along the way I met my wife Louise, breaking up at one point for a couple of years to experience 'LIFE' (mainly wild parties in various parts of Essex), and finally settling down and having 3 great kids, Alex, Kathryn and Stephanie (Stephy was only born on December 13th last year so lots of ah's please).

In the midst of all the drum corps fun I also managed to find the time to play lots of football, which I continue to do now at the ripe old age of 38.

My philosophy on life...............it ain't gonna go away, so you may as well enjoy it !!!
