Bio of Keith Neeley

Spouse: Krsten. Children: Brad – 18, Samantha – 15. As of May, 2003 Samantha (15) is a freshman, plays piano and percussion, was in the school musical, sings in choir, in German and Chess clubs, and is an all around lovely young lady. Brad (18) is a senior, plays piano and trumpet, was on the golf team this year, in German, Chess, and Physics clubs, is an eagle scout (bronze palm), and is accepted to go to BYU Provo this fall. Krsten, my wife, is a schoolteacher in elementary music. She is now YW president and teaches about 20 private voice students. In her spare time, well, she doesn't have any spare time.

Graduated from BYU Provo in 1984 with a BS in Computer Science. Since then I have taken various College and Professional classes, courses and seminars to keep current in the field of Computer Science. I currently work for Allegheny HealthChoices, Inc. I assist Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) with data analysis associated with their Behavioral Health programs. Since 1991 I have been working in this capacity, but for various companies. I do some design work for computer systems and get to develop and implement my designs.

Ward Level Callings: Blazer Leader, Deacon's Quorum Advisor, Teacher's Quorum Advisor, YM 2nd, 1st, Counselors, YM President, 1st counselor in the Elder's Quorum, Bishop (5 years), and Scout Master (twice). I am currently serving as Scout Master/2nd Counselor in the YM/Deacon's Quorum Advisor. Stake Level: 1st Counselor in Stake YM Presidency, High Council (twice).

I am a PIAA certified Basketball referee - which means I officiate basketball games from 5th grade through High School Varsity. I also volunteer with the local High School Football team tracking statistics and tendencies. I read when I have free time in the evenings, play basketball once a week, and try to play golf on Saturday mornings (weather permitting).

Missionary stories: Living through the evacuation of Nicaragua - See my contribution on the Nicaraguan Mission web site. Favorite mission memory: Elder Hartman and Cheney trying to "get" each other with the toys that were in the corn flakes boxes of cereal. My mission taught me who I was and for whom I work. I came away with a fervent, firm testimony - my faith had turned into knowledge. I will always be grateful for my companions and for President Muren. You all taught me well.
