From Ohio to Oregon

Keith grew up in a small farming community in Ohio, and he feels it gives him the perfect background to help small businesses and famers with their unique financial challenges. Both of his parents grew up on farms and he carried that farm roots work ethic with him to law school. It’s also where he learned to love sports, and the reason his favorite color is orange. “I’m a big sports fan, and most of my favorite teams’ colors are orange, starting with the Cleveland Browns.” 

These days, instead of finding Keith at home on a farm you’ll probably find him kayaking on the river with his family. He loves spending time with them on the water. Keith has two children, but he and his wife Mary have also served as foster parents to many children and teenagers. “I feel like we’ve gotten to parent many, many kids and I’m really proud of that.”
