Mr. Keller graduated from the University of Iowa in 2004 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biomedical Engineering. Upon graduation, he took a position with a cancer genetics research lab at The Ohio State University, where he served as the lab’s in-house software developer. During this time, Mr. Keller applied for and was accepted as a PhD candidate in Ohio State’s Molecular Biology program along with its law school. He enrolled in both programs with the intention of completing dual graduate degrees in Law and Molecular Biology.
After completing two years of law school and a semester of the PhD program, Mr. Keller was recruited by a large international law firm, Goodwin Proctor. Upon graduating law school in 2009, Mr. Keller joined Goodwin Proctor as an associate attorney in its New York City office. From 2009-2015, Mr. Keller practiced law at Goodwin Proctor and another highly regarded firm international firm, Fish & Richardson.
Since moving to Lakeland in 2015, Mr. Keller’s professional activities have focused on law, business, and technology. Along with his wife, Mr. Keller owns a number of local area businesses. He was also named CFO of a technology startup company. Observing the need for additional practitioners in the estate planning area, Mr. Keller became a founding member of Herron Keller Moore. He now practices law full time with the firm and focuses primarily on probate administration, drafting wills, and high net worth estate planning.
When not working, Mr. Keller loves to spend time with his family. He especially enjoys traveling with his family, and the four of them have visited numerous countries together.
