My Story
Joseph Keith
I architect scalable AI solutions that work together, think smarter, and solve problems in real time. | Founder | AI Architect | Revenue Strategist | Faith-Driven
To know me is three fold.?
→ My professional success.?
→ My personal roller coaster.
→ My faith journey.?
——————————
It’s been a wild ride!
Along the way,?
→ I’ve learned a lot professionally
→ Grew a lot personally,?
→ Struggled often with my faith
———————————
Born in the 80’s, I found faith at an early age. I moved to New Orleans after graduating high school (New Orleans at 18 right? Yikes!).
For years:?
→ I juggled odd jobs
→ Hurricane Katrina?
→ Marriage?
→ The Birth of my first son (Rewarding)
In 2007, the iPhone launched & I was immediately captivated & determined to develop apps for the iPhone.?
Drew far away from my faith at this time.?
Over the next 5 years….
→ Published over 40+ applications for iOS
→ Had my 2nd son
→ Got divorced
→ Lost a house or two
→ Met my current wife - Went through 3 brain surgeries during this time (It was a crash course in caregiving)
→ Moved from Florida to Austin,
→ Birth of my 3rd son?
→ Buried my younger brother, 5 days after my 3rd son was born (he was 29)?
→ Moved back from Austin to Florida
Still disconnected from my faith.?
————————————
And if you think that was crazy….
Took a brief sabbatical.
→ My wife endured 3 more brain surgeries?
→ She had to relearn basic tasks; feeding herself, writing, even walking
→ We were in over $1 million dollars in debt…medical bills
→ Balancing the role of a single parent & caregiver
→ My wife also developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Completely disconnected from my faith.?
——————————————————
Back at work burying my frustrations at home under loads of success:
→ 2013 - 2014 - Managed over a $1 billion in inventory for Ally?
→ 2015 - Mobilized a sales team for RJR creating several new revenue streams resulting in $10’s of millions.
→ 2016 - Delivered clinical trial solutions for Lilly, reducing adverse effects by 40% & decreasing Go-to-Market time by 25+%.

Now facing my own health battles?
→ 3 shoulder surgeries
→ Hit by a car on a bicycle?
→ facing a back surgery?
My wife & in Chicago for a Cervical Laminectomy & another year of PT to try & fix her CRPS.?
*****One thing to note here that I did not initially see, God placed people in our lives to help take care of our kids & to stay with my wife when I had to travel. People that were there for shifts so, I could take breaks, clear my head, & get some fresh air.*****?
- 2017-2020 - Mounted a complete services transformation for Office Depot generating over $100 million in new revenue.?
- 2021 - Proposed a $1 billion dollar Smart City around the a sports team & its actually under construction today…. I think it is actually estimated at $3 billion now.
- 2020-2022 - I drove business efficiencies & fostered new product growth, completely changing how we delivered engagements post COVID.?
My kids started going to church with their grandmother & they started to bring us along…. I had a spark in my faith for the first time.?
———————————
- 2022 - Still seeking a solution for her CRPS, my wife was off to a summer program at the Mayo Clinic, where she would be for months only to find out it was all for not.?
I managed home life (Single Parent again).
Early 2023 - My time at PwC ended…?
Found a church home at Christ Fellowship. Started to grow in my faith, & working through a class called Experience God, I found hope.?
——————————?
As I started to rediscover my faith, life’s challenges persisted, but my perspective shifted. I began to see the support God had placed in my life, and my faith started to grow.
The journey wasn't over.?
After a bit of soul search & spending time getting to know God, I heard his voice for the first time… “You are right where you need to be”…. First time I felt instant peace.?
… and everything changed.
My wife is not out of pain yet however, with a renewed spirit & strengthening faith we have hope.?
Now…I have always done things against the norm.?
I realized at this point in time the past 10+ years, I was on automatic. Stuck in a hamster wheel. Now I see things more clearly. Fueled with a new focus & a refreshed spirit.?
Colossians 1:17 - “And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.”
God held it together for me the whole time.?
——————————————————
With renewed focus, I’ve restructured past successes into a repeatable growth framework...and then started to automate it.
Now, I’m creating something bigger. Something transformational.
I’m taking the lessons from RevOps, digital transformation, and business growth and combining them with AI.
Yes, I’m building AI to take over the world. But here’s the secret… I have a kill switch.
It’s about using AI responsibly to scale businesses while maintaining control and purpose.
For over 18 months, my ?? faith is stronger than ever. I understand my purpose and God’s will for my life. My mission is to align success with values, fostering financial impact and purpose-driven leadership.
