Keeter Consulting Fun Fact:
The light bulb in the Keeter Consulting Logo is
intended to connote innovation and new ideas, but
it's also a nod to my father, who used a similar
light bulb for his own small business, Keeter
Electric. After over five years as a small business
consultant, and fifteen years as a Rehabilitation
Counselor before that and a degree in Advertising
from MSU, I still credit the experience of watching
and working with my dad as he launched and grew his
own company as the best training I've ever received
for this kind of work.
