“His brother was actually my direct report,” Delilah laughs. “I drove him home from work one night and asked if he knew anyone attractive, nice, smart — not crazy. He said no. Two weeks later I asked again, and this time he said, ‘Actually, I think you’d get along with my brother.’”
A blind date at the Jewel Box on a Sunday night turned into the whole evening — they found out their birthdays were a day apart, both Leos, and that they’d both grown up in theater and performing arts.
That creative overlap became the backbone of their life together. Ian writes and performs music; Delilah became his band’s marketing person, website designer, and audio engineer along the way. “I’ve kind of just turned into their support person,” she says.
“Ian is extremely thoughtful about all of his choices,” Delilah says. “Everything he does is very deliberate, and I feel safe around him because of that.” Ian adds, “Sometimes I can be too safe, and Delilah pushes me to stand up for myself — to ask for the things I want, even when it doesn’t feel okay to.”
They both work from home now, separate offices, same wavelength. “She’ll come out of her office and I’ll come out of mine and I’ll say ‘sandwiches,’” Ian says. “And she’ll say, yeah, for the past 30 minutes.”
