Dublin, Ohio's Ian Montgomery had a momentous phone call to make; some 3,560 miles away to his mother in Dublin, Ireland. He was flat-out giddy to share the news, that he was named the 2023 Honorary Chair of the Dublin Irish Festival. It's been quite the journey the last 20 years for Ian, and he shares it all with Lindsay and Bruce in this episode. Ian was on the beat 10 years as a police officer in Ireland when he happened to meet an American woman there. Fast forward to present day, they're married with 4 kids, live in our great city and he owns Fado Pub and Kitchen in Bridge Park. Hollywood couldn't script this, right? A Dublin to Dublin life, owner of an Irish pub and now honorary leader of the largest three-day Irish festival in the world. And yes, his mom is very, very proud!
