About Kent (SWAMPY) Glade
Introducing Master Kent Glade
Kent is a motivational speaker, environmental educator, author, and film producer whose work connects two powerful forces: human resilience and environmental stewardship. Kent’s story is deeply personal. After losing both parents at an early age, he spent six formative years growing up in an orphanage. He has been married for 28 years, later discovered he had lived with bipolar disorder for more than five decades, navigated nearly 28 different jobs, and survived a head-on collision with a 41-ton rock truck. These experiences shaped his powerful message about crisis, recovery, mental health, and moving forward with purpose.
Professionally, Kent brings more than 40 years of experience in environmental protection and public service. He holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master’s in Public Administration and has worked for state and city governments regulating the coal industry, protecting clean water and wetlands, serving as an urban planner, environmental consultant, and assisting communities in disaster recovery.
Kent is the creator of SWAMPY—an educational character representing Soils, Waters, Animals, Mankind, Plants, and Youth—and is a children’s author and global speaker focused on clean water, wetlands, Earth Day awareness, and environmental education. He also works with organizations using AI, ChatGPT, and social media to strengthen education and outreach. Kent’s message is simple but powerful: when we understand our story and our planet, we find purpose—and purpose fuels action.
