Keith is a mediocre software engineer with an insatiable desire to support only the most impactful areas of Defense work…a dangerous combination! Thankfully he made the decision as a sophomore in college to start a company out of his Boston, MA based dorm room with (a much smarter) fellow Northeastern University engineer.

With a stroke of pure luck, they were able to fool a team of true engineering prodigies into working for them. 15 years later, and to little credit of its co-founders, Cipher Tech has become one of the most selective private Defense firms, maintaining an unblemished reputation as a leader in digital forensics, targeted digital forensic software development, and reverse engineering.

As the CEO of Cipher Tech that just cannot let go of writing C# code from time to time, he has a lived vicariously through SOF operators for years, providing direct and indirect support to the DOMEX mission space from the cowardly comfort of his state-side keyboard. His journey has galvanized a deep appreciation for the sacrifices our nation’s active duty defenders make year after year and the burdens they carry thereafter, which ultimately led him to Donovan and Bank.

Keith spends his limited free time goofing off with his wife and kids, creating bringing down the house-esque statistical gambling simulations, skiing at irresponsible speeds, and seeking out tactical driving and firearms training whenever possible.
