He grew up in Nett Lake and graduated from Orr High School in 1994. Ira attended college at Mesabi Range and BSU to pursue a degree in computer technology. He had an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for computers and technology, and anything science or history based.

Ira enjoyed the outdoors, guiding, hunting and spending time with his father doing the same. He also enjoyed playing pool, spicy foods, working on cars, and golfing. He had a love for music and his best times were spent fishing off the dock with his boys.
