Keenan strives to awaken as a person with consciousness and compassion. This inspires all that he does as a teacher who aims to weave playfulness, creativity and human-wisdom into each lesson. The intangible relationship between teacher and student is the golden thread that brings school to life.

Keenan has taught middle school – sixth to eighth grades – at the Olympia Waldorf School before carrying a class from first grade to eighth grade here at The Denver Waldorf School where he is currently teaching a class in the middle school grades. He holds a bachelor of Art Education from Humboldt State University and completed three years of teacher training and other studies at Emerson College, UK.

Some formative experiences include living abroad in countries such as Chile, Italy, England, and Ireland. Summers are often spent hiking in the mountains and building trails in National Parks. Currently, picking on a mandolin and biking his daughters to school along the river trail brings many moments of joy.
