They first met each other at a volleyball game (he says his team won, she insists it was her team) - and four years later they tied the knot. Together they spend most of their time trying to keep up with their four kids between school activities and sporting events. You'd be hard pressed to find Keith on a work day at L&L Motor when he isn't smiling and good for a joke, but rumor hag it that he has no sense of humor when it comes to birthday jokes.
