Early Life
Growing up with his parents, sister and brother in Houston, Texas, Keen was interested in music, sports, movies and writing. He and his best friend from second grade, Bryan Duckworth, had many adventures growing up together. Some of those adventures have been, in part, inspiration for a few of Keen's songs. Keen graduated from Sharpstown High School in 1974 and is considered one of their most notable alumni along with sports figures and educators.

“I, for one, have never in my life come across a perfectly healthy human being.”
