About Keith
I'm a fellow Veteran and passionate mentor in the military transition space with nearly 4 years of mentorship experience as both a "freelance" mentor on sites like Veterati, and as a volunteer through organizations like Hire Heroes USA, American Corporate Partners, USO Pathfinders, Onward2Opportunity, and Military Transition Roundtable. I have mentored and assisted hundreds of Veterans, and I'd love to help you!
By day, I'm a Management and Program Analyst with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, with a significant background in HR, physical security, teaching, and leadership consulting/instruction. I reside in Virginia Beach, VA, with my wife as we traverse this new chapter of our lives known as "empty nesters."
Keith has volunteered to be available for private messages. Feel free to send a conversational message but remember to be succinct and mindful of the other person’s time.
