Leigh Anne Lindsey is GM of KGUA 88.3FM independent public radio and Founder/Producer of Sea Storm Studios located inside KGUA’s studios at The Village, Gualala, CA (Mendocino County). She has been a volunteer for KGUA since January 2018 and became GM July 2024 in the hopes to help save the station from disappearing as a critical emergency resource for the remote areas of the North Sonoma and South Mendocino coasts. At the same time, she is working on a feature-length documentary (in post-production Summer 2024), and has filmed and edited tourism shows, commercial videos, Mendocino Film Festival sizzle reels and interviews with filmmakers and celebrities. During the 80s to the 2000s, she worked in Silicon Valley, helping tech entrepreneurs flourish through sales & marketing, strategic alliances, & venture capital fundraising efforts. Earlier in life, she was a photojournalist at Colorado Mtn. College, and a rock radio DJ producing radio commercials and editing films for TV at KSPN-FM & TV2 in Aspen, Colorado.

From the creative to the business worlds, she’s had a foot in both.

Managing the radio station involves fundraising, overseeing productions and programming, managing all the technology (automation, streaming, etc.), creating voiceovers, and editing podcasts from morning radio talk shows (podcasts launching late 2024, two of which are Resilient Earth Radio and Lindsey’s Horse Talk Radio.)

Lindsey is a lifelong horsewoman who grew up on an East Texas 10, 000 acre Quarterhorse and cattle ranch. She began riding at age 2, competing in rodeos at age 5, training her first horse at 11, and guiding tourists as a Rocky Mtn. trail guide in the Aspen-Snowmass area at 16. Her family owns the Southwestern portion of the original “Home of Seabiscuit” in Mendocino County, CA, a focus of her documentary “SEABISCUIT’S LEGACY“, a story of positive transformation – from underdog to champion.

She currently lives and works amidst the redwoods along the rugged Northern Sonoma County CA coast in The Sea Ranch where she has a black and white paint horse named Jax.
