Over the last 30 years, Rob has grown a varied career experience. Having worked in hardware supply, construction, oil and gas, engineer recruitment, technical writing, finance, strategic marketing, advertising creative and content development, sales, and business consulting, Rob has the uncanny ability to quickly identify a business’ strengths, weaknesses, and brand-building opportunities. His role within The Brand Constructors is to assist clients with identifying opportunities for increasing their marketing effectiveness, improving profitability, improving brand awareness, and maximizing positioning strategy.

He serves his community as a Board Member in his Rotary Club and Holy Cross School, and additionally does volunteer work with NOLA Soccer Academy.
Keith brings his vast experience in Project and Account Management to The Brand Constructors table. He is adept at managing multiple projects for multiple clients simultaneously, all while balancing relationships with all his clients. His professional super-power is his ability to connect with people. Don’t be fooled by these wicked skills though – he’s a creative writer too!
Keith enjoys spending time with his family, coaching his kids, and playing tennis. When Keith isn’t managing projects or interacting with clients, he writes blogs, screenplays, and sketch comedy. (It’s a well-unknown fact, that he once fancied himself as an SNL sketch writer.) He loves movies (especially Sci-Fi) and will geek-out on anything Star Wars.
