Keith speaks from the experiences of life. While growing up in Seattle , Washington , he aspired to become a professional athlete. He learned about the importance of a positive attitude, improving performance, teamwork, and the art of competition on and off the basketball court. Today, he maintains that same winning edge because of his desire to be the best! Harrell received his BA in community service from Seattle University . He then began a 14-year career with IBM as a sales representative and ultimately became promoted and recognized as one of IBM's top sales and training instructors.

The key to Keith's success is the time and effort he puts into researching his clients' business and industries.
