Keith is a Midwesterner who honorably served in the U.S. Army Artillery in 1969, 70, & 71. During college he concentrated on Science and Engineering but enjoyed creative writing. He also studied English Literature with his soon to be wife Cindy.

 

After marriage, they moved to Philadelphia as owners of an elevator company.  While there, they invented and developed several U.S. Patents which led to a lifelong career of product manufacturing.

                                                                     

As President of a mid-sized corporation, he honed his writing skills by providing numerous technical articles for various trade journals, annual business plans, stockholders reports, as well as comprehensive product catalogs. He furnished insight and guidance to various government agencies for disabled access and was appointed as an advisor to the U.S. Access Board and assisted with establishing standards for A.D.A. access.

​

Upon early retirement, they purchased a cattle ranch. Keith also purchased a sport fishing boat in Alaska and spent six summers exploring the Alaskan coastline from Ketchikan to Homer.  He also spent time fishing the Kodiak Islands.  It was during this time that he wrote "Dark Fortune."

 

While writing, Keith crafts stories with intricate character narratives which expose the best and worst of human nature.  With a keen eye for detail and a masterful approach to suspense, he captivates readers and keeps them on edge until the end.
