Leadership Kauai Class of 2007
Values: Generosity, Compassion, and Justice

Keith has the same independence and adventurous spirit. He has been all over the world, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Korea, Thailand, Brazil and Ethiopia as well as visited many of the United States from Washington to Florida. Graduating with a BBA in Accounting from the University of Hawaii, he went on to become a Certified Public Accountant and worked in Public Accounting for nearly a decade before taking his first private sector job in the Hospitality Industry at the Kauai Coconut Beach Resort. He worked in the Resort Industry for several years before moving to Land Development and Management. Recently he has worked for Kukui’ula Development, Grove Farm and currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer for Gay and Robinson, Inc. Keith also feels strongly about community service and is serving or has served on the Boards as Board Member and Treasurer of several Non-profits, Kauai Hospice, Habitat for Humanity, Leadership Kauai to name a few. He also served as the Chairman of the Kauai Niihau Burial Council for 8 years as the Chair and a multitude of County and State focus groups to address community concerns.
