Often referred to as 'the interventionist with a heart', Keith approaches intervention from a spiritual perspective.
Since 2007, using a model based upon and expanded from the "Love First" intervention method, Keith has successfully facilitated more than 700 interventions with a success rate above 75%.
Keith's passion for recovery, his personal experience recovering from a dual addiction, and his belief that if a guy like him could achieve sobriety, anybody can allows him to communicate heart to heart with those who are actively suffering from the disease of addiction.
After a 30 year career in the upper management level of the automotive industry, as the result of volunteer work he was doing in a detox center to maintain his own sobriety, Keith trained under and apprenticed with two of the leading interventionists in the State of Colorado. To date he has spent more than 25,000 hours working with addicts and their families throughout the United States.
