Hi, my name is Kory. I am married and have 3 daughters. My family has a small hobby farm, and we raise goats and beef. We love spending time outdoors, either working with our animals, gardening, or taking walks.

 

I am the Director of America Adapts Media and host of America Adapts – The Climate Change Podcast. I previously worked on climate adaptation issues with the National Park Service, FL Fish and Wildlife Commission and in Queensland Australia. I'm dedicated to highlighting the issue of adaptation.

I currently work to support leadership and best practices at nature centers throughout North America. In my role with the Association of Nature Center Administrators, I create and share content about the issues that nature centers face, and how they can overcome their challenges.
