Ian Schell

Hi, I am Ian, founder of DeFunkMe. Here's a little about me:

I am a mechanical designer, author, entrepreneur, speaker and perpetual student (I love learning). I am glad to be alive! Because I nearly wasn't...

On my 21st birthday, I tried to take my own life. Obviously, I messed that up because I’m still here. Again in 2014, I hit rock bottom and had thoughts of ending it. On paper, I had it all—a lovely wife, two great kids, a good job with good pay, a renovated house and yet I was severely depressed and suicidal.

With a wife and two kids, suicide wasn’t an option and I needed help, badly!

Now, I am the happiest and healthiest I have ever been. When I look back on my crippling depression in 2014, I see it as the best thing that has ever happened to me. Why? Because I finally got the help I needed, and new information and techniques that completely turned my life around. It wasn’t easy or cheap, but it was worth it.

My mission is to pass on the information that helped me.

My vision is to help others improve the quality of their life.
