Growing up in a single-parent household in Ballymeade, Keith was always involved with his community. Keith was a student in the Brandywine School District throughout his entire childhood and has lived in the 10th District for over 19 years. As a child, Keith played football for the Claymont Falcons, Wrestled & Ran Track at Talley Middle School, and became a Cadet Staff Sergeant in the Civil Air Patrol. Keith attended Delaware Technical & Community College in 2014 and later transferred to Wilmington University on a scholarship. Early into adulthood, Keith decided to work with youth and leaders throughout Delaware to support them in addressing challenges by teaching them to make healthier choices for themselves and their communities. Keith has been vocal about his past battle with addiction in his book, From Dope to the White House, and shares his story with youth in order to prevent them from making the same mistakes he made. Within a 5-year period, Keith overcame his addiction, enrolled in college, worked for the largest non-profit in the state, engaged over 5,000 youth and 10,000 people, wrote his first book, and helped change laws. In addition to those accomplishments, he has hosted a TV show called The Advocate, founded his first business, Crypto Talk LLC, and is now running to be your next State Representative in the 10th Representative District.
Keith understands the struggles families are going through every day and wants to be an advocate for each and every person.- Smaller classroom sizes help with better outcomes for our students
- The Addiction Crisis in our State is out of control. We need more rehabilitation programs in the state and we must fund prevention programs
- We must develop our land to create more job opportunities for Delaware Residents.
