Keith Poletiek

For the past 30 years I've been working to inspire kids and families to greatness through storytelling.

Bringing ideas and concepts to light by sharing vivid tales, life-lessons, humorous experiences and over-the-top adventures seems to work; so I'm staying the course as long as I have a voice worth listening to.

Whether I'm speaking in front of kids or adults, using audio, video or the written word, my goal has always been to give people insight to life's mysteries and throw in tidbits of advice which might help them work their way through troubling or confusing times of their own.

I was raised in Huntington Beach, California and live there today. My life, from day one, has been one big adventure filled with incredible fun mixed with a good dose of mistakes, mishaps, blunders and "What in Heaven's name were you thinkings!"

I thank my parents often for not strangling me at 10.

I am married to my college sweetheart, Tina, have 2 grown, strangle-free kids and I love to write, speak, draw cartoons, do graphic design and talk, and talk, and talk.

Please explore my books. Your kids will love them for the adventure and humor, and you'll enjoy each hidden nugget of learning found between their pages.

Oh, and if you're looking for something for you, grab a copy of "Fish Tacos and Far Out Friends!" The First Compilation Book of my syndicated cartoon strip, "Dude and Dude." I promise, there is no learning to be found in this one, just a lot of laughs.
