He was born and raised in the Eau Claire area and has lived in the Fox Valley community of Combined Locks for the past 40 years.
Keith has 5 grown kids and two step-kids. The story of Snowball, in fact, was written back in 1976 to entertain his own kids when they were toddlers. There was no plan to publish it until Keiths’ daughter Michelle asked a few years ago if he still had a handwritten copy...so Snowball was reborn.
Keith is a military veteran and a retired electrician. His beloved wife of 39 years Shari passed away on May 21, 2013, so Keith lives alone with his faithful little shih tsu friend, Tarkus. When he was younger Keith was a boxer, a skydiver, and played rugby until age 50. Now for his relaxation Keith plays guitar, keyboard, and golf, and has written dozens of poems for noteworthy family occasions.view less
