A man of many talents Garnet McPherson is best known for his work in communications and eco-social design, education and advocacy.  But one of the hats Garnet wears well is that of the story teller. "Garnet McPherson is a wordsmith in every sense of the word." says Devon Manning director of My Go To Experts.  Working primarily in print, digital media, and film "Garnet shares his insights into human culture and its impact on our world." 

He got his first job in journalism when still a teen and has never stopped sharing his insights into the issues that are impacting humanity and the planet.  After collage he pursued a full time career as a freelance investigative journalist covering environmental and social impact stories around the world.  As a writer he has worked in a wide variety of media.  Over the years he has edited journals, written books, poetry, plays, film scripts, and even helpful solution focused guides to various forms of success.  He explores subjects that range from communication, photography, the environment, sustainable and healthy living, bio-diversity,  survival, philosophy and his personal quest "to find signs of intelligent life on planet Earth". 

He has been a ghostwriter for several public figures and has spent decades guiding many would be authors on their journey into story telling.  As the founder and president of The National Ghostwriters Guild he continues to mentor other writers across the country. He has also been the editor of Sustainable Living Magazine and the host of The Greenzine for a number of years. 

As an educator he has been on the communications faculty of Sheridan Collage and the Creative Arts Institute.  Garnet has a passion for empowering students to learn advanced skills in communications and has developed programs in photography, film, writing and graphic design.  His other life long passion is the evolution of a sustainable human culture so Garnet also funded and designed the entire curriculum for the Earthwalk Eco-Education centre. 

A change maker at heart, Garnet was the founder of the Visioneers Group a multi-disciplined  think tank that has been working behind the scenes around the world to facilitate a shift to a more sustainable and healthy human culture

As an eco-social / permaculture designer Garnet McPherson has designed many intentional community projects for Earthworks and has lectured at several schools, collages and universities on creating a sustainable future. 

As busy as he is, Garnet still appears as a keynote speaker for My Go To Expert at community and corporate events across the country. Garnet has served on the board of many environmental and cultural projects and his time is booked pretty solid so that he still finds any time to write anything is impressive.

Over the last 30 years he has designed more intentional communities than anyone else in the world.  Here he has shared his  many insights and best practices for creating healthy and sustainable communities.  Earthworks is considered by many as  the closest thing to a textbook for eco village and intentional community design.
Watch for new releases in 2025
Garnet McPherson has packed more into one lifetime then several average men combined and he has worn an impressive number of hats during each chapter in his life. As a result he as a wealth of wisdom on many aspects of human culture. He does not like being called a guru and says "I am just a student of living on this rock" But he is so much more. 

For some time we have been asking him to publish an auto-biography where he can share his many adventures, mis-adventures and the many opportunities he has had "to learn more about becoming more".  He prefers talking speaking and writing about the world we life in, but it seems with much encouragement, an auto-biography is now in the works and it will be called "The Man With Nine Lives"  Watch for it.
