Keeler has been with Flying Horse for five years and feels privileged to be here. You probably see him all over The Club, he ensures everything is operating smoothly at the Gatehouse, Athletic Club and Clubhouse. In his spare time he enjoys running (a lot), hiking, tennis, and fly fishing. Even though Colorado has been his home for eight years, he is very proud of his east coast heritage and tries to get back that way at least once a year. If you haven’t met Keeler, introduce yourself! He is always there to greet with a smile, warm hello and is an essential asset to our Flying Horse team!
