While on Active Duty, Keith was a Rescue Swimmer and earned his black beret as a Riverine Patrol Officer. In 2007, Keith commissioned as Surface Warfare Officer which culminated in his highlight tour as Weapon and Combat Systems Officer onboard the guided missile cruiser USS VELLA GULF.

Captain Keith gave us a great day on the water. We tried to get out to fish triple tail nearshore but weather did not permit. Instead, we boarded a number of sheepshead (including one master angler size), redfish and snapper. He was personable, knowledgeable and accommodating. I won’t hesitate to do it again. Highly recommend…and the Carolina Skiff is a nice fishing boat. …
