In his early 20’s he worked on ranches all over Mt, Wy, Nv, Or and Wa. He found himself being drawn to starting colts more and more in his early 20’s. In the late 80’s he met Carla when she was vacationing in his town. Soon after they got married (in 1993) and Carla joined Keith in his cowboy adventures. For the first few year Keith was still working for other outfits. In 2001 They bought Hooper Crossing, at first Keith was shoeing, Welding, taking on outside horses, and day working for local ranches. In 2008 Keith and Carla bought there stud Spatz and went all in with their own breeding operation.
