 Image provided by model Originally Keith is from Boston, MA, however he now resides “in sunny Los Angeles, California.” He began his modeling career when he “went to an event called Pro Scout.” Since then he has had the opportunity to work with “Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, DNR, Details, Michael Brandon, OUT, Spirit, South Shore, Burton, Cavalli and tons more,” and has had ads appear “everywhere from Boston to LA to Italy, world wide.” However, despite all of his success he looks forward to someday modeling for “D & G.” Keith is also an aspiring actor who has already acted in several movies and is currently one of the hosts on TruTv’s Smoking Gun.
He believes that to succeed as a model you must have “determination and a belief in ones self.” To Keith the rejection he has faced as a model is handled by “understanding that it’s part of the business.” He is set apart from other models by his perseverance and his ability to network. “The intense determination to not only depend on agents but to be an agent yourself.” He is excited to be a part of On Display Men because “it’s a great website with great leadership and direction.”
In the future we may see Keith in office as his life’s ambition is “to be a senator or congressman.” The person who inspires him the most is “Arnold Schwarzenegger.”
Keith stays in shape by “lifting weights, swimming and lots of walking.” In addition he plays both “hockey and football,” and is a fan of “all sports, I’m a huge sports buff, especially any Boston and New England sports teams.”
When he’s not modeling, Keith enjoys “acting, snowboarding, playing hockey and traveling.” And when he does travel, his dream destination is “Dubai.” Keith and his friends can usually be found “playing pool or bowling.” When it comes to making him laugh only one person succeeds, “Eddie Murphy.” He would admit that the one thing he can’t live without is “strawberry ice cream.”
