About: Crazy kid Keith was born in Rochester, Minnesota, the second of the eventual 4 kids in the Davis household. Pretty soon after my sister was born we moved to St. Louis, Missouri. Thatâ??s right, where Nelly is from. What can I say I am from the loop and am proud. There I attended Oak Hill and Priory schools, and headed off to Purdue in 2000. The city of West Lafayette, was amazingly different. Here they name all of their hills because they are very precious to them, and play a card game called euchre. Soon into school I joined the cooperative work program, spending every other semester working at Ball Aerospace in Boulder, Colorado. There I managed to stay sane by getting my annual fix of topography. This May I will graduate with a degree in Computer Engineering, and will head off to the University of Colorado â?? Boulder to pursue a Masters.

Why I Ride

Talking to people about this trip has really turned some heads, and it has probably been the funnest part of preparing for it. Telling them about the trip, what we are doing, and why we are doing it leaves a strong impression. I am the latest person to ever join the group, so I am totally working hard to catch up. My motivation for this ride to get peoples attention get talking to them and getting to direct people's attention towards education about cancer. I have been lucky to never have it seriously impact my life, but we are all at risk, and we all need to know more about it.
