Keith has worked in the mortgage industry for more than 20 years, specializing in reverse mortgages.
In recent times, Keith has shifted the focus of his nationally-recognized company to a local California model in an effort to make a more positive impact on his community.
Keith says the work he has done with veterans has been particularly rewarding and he has appreciated the opportunity to represent such an important part of California.
Education is something Keith values a great deal.
He earned a degree in Business Administration from the University of Massachusetts, complemented by his significant and ongoing education in the financial services and loan industries.
When he is not at his desk, you can find Keith with his wife and three kids on the Jeep trails with his rescue dog Brady.
But when he’s back at the office, you will learn Keith does have his idiosyncrasies.

He changes into crocs when he arrives at work – he calls them his ‘office slippers’.
He sure gets teased about that!
What is a reverse mortgage?
A reverse mortgage is an extremely powerful loan product that helps put homeowners back in the financial driver’s seat.
It does this by allowing them to access the equity they have already built in their own home in the form of a brand new income stream.
It is available to anyone 62 years or older and gives them the opportunity to remain in their home rather than face the unpalatable thought of having to sell it, just to make ends meet.
Homeowners can be paid in many different ways including weekly or monthly payments, a line of credit, a lump sum or even a combination of all three.
The real beauty of a reverse mortgage is that as long as the terms of the loan are met, there is no need to repay it until either the homeowner sells the residence or the last surviving borrower passes away.
It means retirees can stop counting every penny and start thinking about ways to spend them.
Start living the high life with that long-planned vacation, dinners and shows and spoiling your beloved family – they are all possible with a reverse mortgage.
