Back on dry land & what an amazing 24 hrs it was on the USS Harry S. Truman 100 miles off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida! You all would & should be proud of the work our sailors are doing on behalf of our nation. I look forward to sharing their stories in the coming days #KPRC2 @kprc2 #sailorforaday #usnavy⚓️ @usnavy #ussharrystruman

Just now posting because I’m still trying to recover 😆 JK…this is me & my second summit of Mt. Rainier last Wednesday…a great way to celebrate Independence Day! It was grueling but I was able to make it up & down the mountain because of my amazing guides from @rmiexpeditions & my 8 awesome teammates. Until next time my friend #rainier #rainiersummit #tahoma

HFR: What tips would you give your fans and our readers to staying healthy?

Keith: Doing something is better than doing nothing! You don’t have to run marathons or do CrossFit to be healthy.  Walk around the block, do pushups, or jumping jacks a few times a week.  Just be better than the version of you that would rather sit on the couch & eat potato chips all day.  And don’t forget that a bad diet can ruin a good workout regimen

HFR: Share something that most people don’t know about you!

Keith: For years I have had a phobia of falling.  Not a fear or phobia of heights but a bona fide phobia of falling; they’re related but not the same.  I’ve tried to tackle that phobia head-on by summitting Mt. Rainer a couple of times & learning to do handstand walks
