Though not intentionally chosen to balance yin and yang, Keith's BA is a combination of creative writing (poetry) and linguistics. Since his graduation sometime in the last century he has worked as a freelance journalist/photographer, Typesetter, System Manager, and Senior Web Developer. When the tech bubble burst in 2001 he retired early and now reads voraciously, writes sparingly, bikes energetically, and meditates daily.
