Ian Karby is the owner and founder of Karby Connections, a consulting firm focused on community education, curriculum development, mentorship and project management in public health initiatives.

Ian is a Physical Therapist, Athletic Trainer and educator. Ian’s passion for guiding others to meet their long-term health and wellness goals led him to graduate school where he received a doctorate of physical therapy and increased his knowledge and understanding of the resilience of the human body, mind and spirit.

After wrapping up graduate school, Ian worked in medical clinics and found his passion was rooted in building relationships, educating his patients, advocating for their individual wellbeing and connecting them to resources within their own communities to support their wellness journey. In 2021, Ian expanded his work to not only support individuals but to provide groups and organizations with curriculum development, project management, health and wellness programming and growing collaborative partnerships. Now, broader community connection lies in the heart of Ian’s mission as he connects community activists, organizers and educators to each other and with diverse communities in order to defeat misinformation and help grow an educated and healthy public.
