Keith Ritman

Keith was born in Tampa, Florida and at the tender age of four years old his parents relocated him, his two sisters and brother to Jersey City, New Jersey where he was raised. He completed his High School years in Plainfield, New Jersey where he pursued a professional modeling and acting career that was short lived. After dropping out of his 2nd year of college, he ran his first Marathon in New York City. He soon discovered that he needed to go back to college in order for him to advance in the workforce. Not having the finances to pay for his education himself; he made up in his mind that he would rely on someone else to foot the bill for his education. So, he worked with companies that offered educational benefits (tuition reimbursement benefits) and as such he earned his AA degree. It was years later that the U.S. Navy financed his undergraduate and graduate degrees.
