Keith has been the friendly face of CRIS Radio for so many people since 1984.  He is the "man on the board" who makes the mornings run smoothly.

"When I was in school, I had two friends who were blind, so to have the opportunity to have a career that honors them and so many others, and to work with so many great volunteers, I can't put into words what that has meant to me."

 

CRISKids

CRISKids™ and CRISKids™ for Schools provides instant access to audio versions of award-winning children's magazines and classroom print materials, all featuring human narration.

Children who are blind or unable to read due to other visual, learning, physical, intellectual or emotional disabilities are eligible for CRISKids’ service.  CRISKids Audio Library  includes more than 700 titles of children’s magazines and classroom materials.
