Personal
Lettered four times in football and basketball and twice in track at Greybull High School. Keisel was a four-time All-Conference selection and earned All-State honors as a tight end and linebacker (1995–96), he was USA Today Wyoming Player of the Year in his final season and also earned Sportslink Player of the Year and Conference Player of the Year honors in 1996.
Although Keisel excelled at both football and basketball, he initially wanted to go to college for basketball. He researched the statistics of players that were currently in the NBA at the time and found that his size wouldn't compare to those playing basketball at the professional level. He then turned his attention and athletic ability to football and has been a force to be reckoned with ever since.
Brett is the son of Connie and Lane Keisel. He has three sisters,Peggy, Kalli and Codi, and four brothers, Tom, Lance, Chris, and Chad. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Sarah. The couple has a three-year-old son named Jacob and a one year old daughter named Grace.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“There cannot be a personal God without a pessimistic religion. As soon as there is a personal God he is a disappointing God.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
