Keith first started his college career in 1981.  He says that life got in the way and he was unable to finish.  Going back to school and getting his degree has always been something that Keith has wanted to accomplish and now he is doing that here at UMA.  “Keith is the entrepreneur of the team,” boasts Coach Tristan Starbird. “He demonstrates nothing but class on and off the course.  Keith is entering his third year as a UMA golfer and wrapping up his degree in Business this year.“ 

Something you may not know about Keith: Keith and his wife have five kids, two of which are in college right now.

Favorite class so far at UMA:  “I just finished taking a class in International Business.  It was great.  I really loved the way that Professor Giordano ran the class.”

What he likes most about UMA:  “I really love the flexibility of the classes.  Being able to take online classes or use delayed viewing has made it possible for me to keep up with a very hectic schedule.”

Keith’s mentor: “I would have to say my Dad.  I learned a lot of good lessons from him about life and how to be a good parent.”
