In Keller’s first season at Falcon, the school finished the season 13-1 and had the school’s first appearance in the state championship game. That season saw the Falcons amass 5,350 yards offensively; 4,284 of those yards coming on the ground, making them the #1 rushing offense in the state of Colorado and #2 in total offense. They also broke 20 school records that season and have sense broken six more. In 2009, Falcon had another great year as it finished 10-2 and advanced to the state quarterfinals of the CHSAA state playoffs. This year’s Falcon offense averaged over 350 yards per game and nearly 30 points per game which included throwing for a school record 1,650 yards and 17 touchdowns. During his tenure at Falcon, Keller has seen the program take off into a team with an overall record of 28-8 in the past three seasons along with spending nine weeks ranked #1 in the state of Colorado.
Keller’s wife, Michelle, is currently a City Attorney for the City of Colorado Springs. They have been married for seven years and have one daughter, 4-year old Marin. They have another child on the way, due March 1st, and a dog, Bailey. In his free time, Coach Keller enjoys spending time with his family, golfing and hunting.
