Kerri Cannon

Kerri is the co-founder and primary creative force behind Cannon By the Sea, a custom engraving and woodworking business specializing in handcrafted gifts, decor, and personalized keepsakes. With a deep-rooted passion for craftsmanship and an eye for meaningful design, Kerri and her husband, Sean, have built a thriving business that helps clients create unique, high-quality products for personal and professional gifting. Before launching Cannon By the Sea, Kerri had a successful career as a hospital administrator in both academic medical centers and community hospitals. She later transitioned into real estate, where she discovered a love for curating thoughtful client gifts – an inspiration that led to the creation of her business. Now, as an entrepreneur, she blends her background in leadership and customer service with her artistic talents to bring one-of-a-kind, coastal-inspired creations to life. As an NGU member, Kerri is excited to connect with fellow professionals, share her expertise in custom branding and personalized gifting, and support local businesses in making lasting impressions with their clients and partners. When she’s not in the workshop, Kerri enjoys boating, exploring the coast with her husband and two young children, and discovering the best gluten-free spots in Massachusetts.
