Ian Dugas

Ian is a journeyman carpenter who prides himself on being a master of many trades and who works hard to constantly grow his skillset. From form work to finish, he tackles every project with a positive attitude and keen attention to detail. Ian has been with Mētis since its inception and is a founding owner. Having only a year of construction experience prior to joining Mētis, he has grown his skillset with the company. A few of the most memorable projects Ian has been a part of are Rhine Haus, Optimism Brewery and Zocalo.

Prior to working at Mētis, Ian worked as a barkeeper, which is a great background considering the number of bars Ian has now helped build. He also completed the Marine and General Carpentry programs at Seattle Central University, which were his gateway into the world of carpentry. This introduction to wood working came full circle when Ian worked as a carpenter on the Mētis Boat Street project, renovating and repurposing the Jensen Boat Yard on Lake Union.

While outside of work, he is a talented musician who plays music in a number of bands. He also enjoys spending time with his wife, friends and cooking.
