~Jeff Mitton, Animation supervisor at 9 Story / Brown Bag Films Toronto
"Your work on Cat in the Hat, as always, was exceptional – finding the humour and the energy, and when we needed it, the real kid behaviour that grounded that part of the show in reality for the audience at home.
I loved what you did with the Song Flower Sisters song, too, which was the last episode we delivered. I look forward to working with you again on something soon."

"Keith was one of my senior animators on Doki at Portfolio Entertainment and I quickly learned to trust that he would do a great job on anything we threw at him. He always tossed in some extra bit of ‘business’ into his scenes that made them just that much better…..a little expression here or some subtle comedic action that would help plus a scene and make it better without going over the top. That’s a great ability, shows he’s having fun and rubs off on other animators. Keith is very knowledgeable and wise in the ways of Harmony and would always share any tricks or tips with the crew. A cool and easy going reliable guy that helps people? That’s a true professional and a great asset to any studio."

"Keith is one of the hardest working people I've ever known. In addition to excelling at his day job he consistently completes freelance project after project. The quality of his work is not diluted by the volume; it's always top notch. Keith is always learning and is happy to share any tips and tricks he picks up. He's an inspiration and an asset to the team."

~Craig Schriver, Senior Animator at nelvana, formally at Smiley Guy Studios
Keith was my supervisor at Fatkat studios and not only did I learn a lot and can contribute most of my skills as an animator to him, he was probably one of the nicest people to me as I was getting the hang of things. Keith brought great animation to that studio and all of its products, most notably, a lot of action animations in the Nickelodeon show, "Three Delivery". This guy isn't afraid of a challenge, he just stares right back at it grinning the whole time. Any studio would be lucky to have this talent.

"Keith was an incredible asset to our crew. He is one of the fastest and most reliable animators i've ever worked with. His technical mastery of the program is impressive and i think even our most experienced animators learned a trick or two from him."
