Edwin and Keith discussed Keith's successful journey in the modeling industry, emphasizing the importance of proactivity, personal branding, and taking calculated risks - all transferable skills to any sector of life. They also explored the challenges of aligning one's actions with their public image, the significance of authenticity, and the value of continuous self-improvement. Lastly, they discussed Keith's future aspirations, the importance of making choices in line with one's values and goals, and the use of social media to showcase one's work.
Keith's first aspiration to model came during undergrad when a teammate said he should be in a Hollister ad. Although Green Bay Wisconsin wasn't the mecca for modeling he still pursued it. He moved to Florida to attend grad school at FSU and then moved farther south to Sarasota, FL. It was at that time he met a colleague who introduced him to J Cordé Models in 2017. The agency helped him get his first photoshoots and gave him direction in starting his portfolio.
Since then he has had the pleasure of shooting with countless photographers and wonderful models. He is always ready for the next adventure that's ahead of him. He has done book covers, infomercials, music videos, and worked with multiple clothing companies and doesn't want to stop there. He wants to keep working from swimsuit to suit & tie and everything in between. Keith is currently managed by Benz Models who are taking him to the next level of success.
