Keith grew up in San Diego and has been a part of the community for over 45 years. Keith focuses on the client experience and staff training.

Keith is skilled in the process of project management, building technology, has a keen design eye that leads to creative and unique project features, and embraces the new techniques while appreciating long practiced good traditions.
