Keyser... The Man... The Marine... The Martian?
Michael Wayne Keyser was born on September 16, 1973 to William F. and Carol A. Keyser on a late Sunday afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky. For the first few years of his life, he traveled from state to state as his Father (and Mother for that matter) served in the
United States Marine Corps.
He spent most of his life growing up in the diverse climates of the State of Arizona (Both Northern and Southern regions), first getting to know and understand the culture of many tribes of American Indians (mainly Hopi and Navajo) and then later in life was introduced to Mexican culture in Tucson, AZ.
Living in Tucson for just over 19 years, he graduated from High School, joined the United States Marines and attended a few years at Pima Community College, pursuing a Computer Sciences Degree. Within those 19 years, the majority of his close circle of friends he met while in Tucson.
In the mid 90's Michael left the Marine Corps and settled back into civilian life. Michael worked various jobs in the civilian sector and had a great interest in working in the IT Field. While working for CBS Marketing, he made many contacts and friends and also got his first taste of "Corporate America". Eventually he ended up getting a job as a Security/ATM Technician for a large ATM Company in AZ. This experience led him to opportunities within the Financial Industry and the Law Enforcement World as well.
Michael Left the ATM Company in '98 after promises of his promotion to Lieutenant was broken and the Company's "Sweat Shop" attitude towards its employees became too unbearable. Soon after this, he was offered a job into the IT world from his long-time friend Brad Williams, at the time, AVP of Information Technology for a local Credit Union. Michael graciously accepted the offer and this began his current career in Information Technology.
