As a young man, he sensed the call to serve the Lord, something that ultimately led him and his family to two decades of missionary service in South Asia.  He remains devoted to reaching people.  Keith also uses his skills in home remodeling to frequently help with Western North Carolina relief after Hurricane Helene.
