Who
Theocharis—the name he was given in the baptismal dunking—in infancy and adolescence thrived through the timeless terrains of Thessaloniki, Greece, until the tender age of 17. Spanning the subsequent seasons, he shifted shapes, shedding skins, to seamlessly step into an American identity.
Ian immersed himself in the intellectual incubator of Grinnell College, nestled in Grinnell, Iowa, and was diplomaed with degrees in Computer Science and Linguistics. In bygone days, he delved into the dynamic domains of Silicon Valley, aligning with the ambitious assembly of the Y Combinator cohort.
While at ████, ████████ ███, Ian ██████ ███ █████ ██ █████ ██, ███████ ████ ██████ ██████ █ ██ █████. ██████ ██ ███████ ████ ███ █████ ███████ ███████ (litteræ consulto obscuratæ).
Since the seismic shifts stirred by COVID-19, Ian inhabits his native Greece, aiming to amalgamate his bifurcated cultural canvas.
Why
I've yet to tackle this text's creation... By becoming a subscriber, you'll be the first to find out the moment it materializes. Marinating in my mind is a meticulously mapped-out Sociolinguistic thesis supporting this artistic endeavor, demanding my dedicated diligence to do it justice.
Moreover, my mission for many moons has been to manifest (for my American mates, muses, and adversaries) the subtle sweetness and melancholy meshing within Greek culture in a way that is accessible to them... This is it.
