Westen Gehring

Raised in New Mexico, USA, and Manitoba, Canada, Westen Gehring eventually made his way to Kansas to pursue degrees in Music Performance and Biology. He finds inspiration in the thought, care, and dedication of the quirky folk at The Land Institute as they work together to solve perennial challenges big and small. At The Land Institute, Westen works on the finance team, assisting program leads in building clear plans and managing government grant funding. 

My most perennial trait: Groovy – ask me about my relationship to jazz and strong tendency towards pattern-based behavior.
