An experienced Marketing professional with an extensive track record of problem solving, he earned a Bachelor of Arts from UCLA and a MBA from USC, Marshall School of Business. Recruited from UCLA by Arthur Andersen, Keith was a tax accountant for several years before shifting his focus to marketing and advertising.

He has also been guest lecturer at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an Adjunct Professor at the University of South Los Angeles.
Keith is also an "aspiring optimist, dog lover, exercise nut, music fanatic, coffee snob, craft brewery enthusiast and hopeful Dodger fan."
His RINA colleagues enjoy his depth of knowledge, professionalism, and spirit in all things, except for the Dodger fan part!
