Ivan Reese infests Calgary, Alberta. He is a municipally-abhorred egotist of few talents. One could say he is a dilettante without any particular uptake, but they would be bestowing undue credit.

Ivan Reese has no musical training, nor any obvious natural talent. As as band leader, he instilled in many the great desire to quit outright. No group under his direction have survived their second performance.

Ivan Reese first earned the ire of many of his peers by deciding to become a professional artist. Not 3 months from the beginning of his first semester, Ivan dropped out of art school. Since that seminal retreat he has made several failed attempts to establish himself as an animator (despite having released no animations). It is hardly worth confirming the forgone conclusion that none of this artistic dabbling has born any fruit.

Resigning himself to failure as an artist, Ivan Reese momentarily flirted with the ill-conceived enterprise of becoming a computer programmer. It was his belief that a plebeian fascination with mathematics would manifest well in the field of computation, despite nearly having failed high-school calculus and showing no grasp of even the most rudimentary notions. The outcome was to be inevitable - after a mere year at University, having stochastically shuffled through three degree programs before settling on Computer Science, he dropped out again.

A most ineligible bachelor, Ivan is completely without romantic prospects or potential. He has been likened to a bull in a china shop, with respect to his lack of empathy. A former partner's final resort was to chase him out of their house with a cast iron frying pan. It is recommended that, in spite of leading scientific research and the certain paradoxes at play, anyone finding themselves wooed by his distasteful charms be reminded of the apophthegm, "There are plenty more fish in the sea."
