David Keith was born in 1951 in Jacksonville Florida to a US Navy family. Like all US Military families, they moved often, and being in the Navy, they always lived near the water. And so as he grew up, David developed a keen appreciation for nature near the waterfront in all the places he lived, such as Annapolis Maryland, Oak Harbor Washington, Coronado California. Corpus Christi Texas, Newfoundland, and Laurel Maryland.
David graduated from Georgia Tech in mechanical engineering, specializing in energy systems. David worked at a large consulting company for over 35 years, rising to the level of Senior Vice President. He served as a group leader, project director, energy engineer and energy policy specialist in more than 30 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Their projects were mainly in the fields of electricity sector development, with a focus on environmental protection and social impact mitigation.
David and his wife Brenda moved to Aquarina in 2015. They enjoy all the amenities here, including the beach, golf, and boating. David has joined as a member of the Conservancy Friends to help carry out the vision of the Conservancy founders, as he shares their passion to preserve and protect the ecosystems of Brevard County’s barrier island, the Indian River Lagoon, and the Atlantic Ocean.
