  Ian Davis was born in Montreal and raised in the predominantly English-speaking neighbourhood of Montreal West. He first attended Elizabeth Ballentyne Elementary, then Wentworth School for a year of French immersion and what is now known as the Royal West Academy.

Following High School, Ian enrolled in Dawson CEGEP in their Marketing and Business Administration program. One of his professors at Dawson encouraged him to proceed to university. Ian took the professor's advice and enrolled at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.

While attending Queen's University, Ian's study interests broadened to include a variety of disciplines. He studied in the Math, Psychology, English and Economics faculties before acquiring an Honours Degree in Economics. From there, Ian embarked on a Law degree, which he completed in May 1987 at Queen's.

Ian arranged articles while on a skiing vacation in Whistler with the Vancouver Law Firm now known as Boughton, Pederson, Yang, Anderson. He commenced articles in August of 1987, after taking the summer of 1987 off to travel through Europe by rail. Following articles, Ian migrated north to join Race & Company. He worked for a year and a half in the firm's Squamish office prior to joining the Whistler office, where he has practiced 1990.

Ian has enjoyed a very diverse practice in his years as a lawyer. In the first half of his career, he practiced mainly in the areas of Personal Injury and Criminal Law. In 1994, he developed a practice as a general solicitor. This decision was prompted somewhat by the expectation of a third child in January 1995.

Until settling into the profession of lawyer, Ian worked in distinguished occupations as YMCA Camp Counsellor, YMCA Camp Canoe Trip Guide, store clerk, Big Brother summer program worker, busboy, and tree planter.

Ian has served his community as a director of the Dandelion Daycare Society, as a director of the Whistler Hockey Association, and as a Division II soccer coach. Currently, he continues to provide advice to the Daycare Society, is Chairman of the Whistler Chamber of Commerce, and a Director of the Whistler Workers Cup Society and Whistler Black Bear Task Force Committee. He has volunteered as a Whistler Weasel Worker in construction of the Whistler World Cup Downhill for 5 years.
