Hi, I’m Kerry — a storyteller, systems thinker, and longtime believer in the power of media, community, and creativity a regenerative and flourishing spaceship Earth.

​

For more than 15 years, my work has lived at the intersection of art, ecology, and technology—supporting people and places navigating complex environmental and societal challenges. I’ve learned that real change happens when imagination meets rigor, and when communities, science, and capital are invited into the same conversation.

I currently serve as Director of Impact Outreach with Gordian Knot Strategies, working at the intersection of ecosystem restoration, carbon markets, and climate finance. My focus is on helping high-integrity projects move from vision to investable reality—building bridges between science and capital, policy and practice, urgency and care. 

​

Before this chapter, my work unfolded largely on the ground. I was the founder and director of The EcoMedia Compass for 15 years, leading restoration-focused media, advocacy, and community initiatives—supporting human and environmental health, and food and water security most notably around California’s Salton Sea, the state’s largest and most imperiled lake. With neighbors, artists, scientists, and policymakers, we launched awareness campaigns, founded three community restoration centers, hosted close to 100 events and forums, including the world’s largest SOS image created with 70 vehicles on a beach.

​

I later served two terms as honorary mayor and Chamber of Commerce president for four lakeside towns—roles that allowed me to advocate for restoration, education, and policy from inside local governance. During that time, I represented The EcoMedia Compass and Greenpeace on state-level committees, collaborated with the California Natural Resources Agency, and worked closely with county governments and utilities. I helped shape ecological strategies, joined and directed film crews, and hosted annual Earth Day and regenerative festivals bringing together scientists, youth, artists, and community members.

​

This work helped unlock millions of dollars in restoration funding, built a park, co-founded the Desert Shores Channels restoration project, contributed to long-term policy momentum, and reached global audiences through The Los Angeles Times, VICE, Wired, Al Jazeera, and dozens of awarded documentaries. Sometimes I showed up with a microphone, sometimes with a camera—and sometimes simply listening to the patterns already moving through people and landscapes.

​

Over time, my focus expanded toward systems-level change. I’ve facilitated global climate forums, and advocated in Sacramento and U.S. Senate offices in Washington, D.C., on issues ranging from waterway restoration to the development of standards for AI governance. I’ve also served as a Senior Advisor to World Systems Solutions, on the development of a global utility platform to facilitate regenerative and climate collaboration. 

I continue to work internationally while composing music as The Music Date and an interactive wisdom media project The Future Is Listening blending systems design, storytelling, and imagination, broadcasting from a future where we figured things out together.

A lifelong musician and composer, music remains my language of hope, freedom, and flow. It informs how I approach collaboration, leadership, and regeneration—for ecosystems, communities, and those yet to come.

​

I'm excited to plant the seeds of tomorrow in my community and globally.

If you’re building something impactful, beautiful and brave, there’s a good chance we’re already resonating. 

I'd love to hear from you.
