Keith was a laboratory technician at the WA Herbarium for several years in the early 1970s.

He he was a close associate of Ian Brooker and his natural artistic talents came to the fore in several drawings of eucalypts that he did for Ian.

Keith left a few years later and became a travelling shoe salesman. No more is known of him after that.
