His main career was with Hibbing Taconite where he was employed for many years.

In his earlier years, he coached his son in hockey and baseball. Keith was an avid outdoorsman. He loved hunting, fishing, spending time in the fish house, the deer shack, and most of all spending time at the cabin on Lake Vermilion.
