Kerr (said like "care), has hair. Lots of it. The funny thing is it only grows out the bottom of his head. But that's ok; Kerr loves things that are a bit different, silly, and strange! Kerr's been doodling little creatures and creating wild stories since he was basically a small, bald, baby human. Kerr also has a passion for education. He's worked as a camp counsellor, elementary teacher, and education manager for a combined 20+ years! Years ago, his adventures in education led him to discover the wonderful world of Co-operatives. Ever since that life-changing moment, Ker's been committed to sharing the incredible stories from this inspiring world - in hopes of helping others to come together in building equitable, sustainable, and democratic communities and businesses.
