BIO

Ian Kellett is a Denver-based host and producer whose sweet spot is where geek culture, craft, and travel collide. A teleprompter-clean presenter with strong improv chops, Ian’s on-camera style is warm, witty, and fast on his feet—equally at home interviewing creators on a con floor, tasting with artisans in the workshop, or guiding viewers through real-world adventures. He’s a multi-award-winning filmmaker (regional Emmy recognitions) with extensive experience in documentary and unscripted, plus voiceover range from friendly everyman to authoritative narrator. Non-union. Valid passport. Available for travel and remote/self-tape.
