Charles McKeithan

appearing (sort of ) on the Radio Kiss FM Sunday Morning

Hi Susan, looking forward to the interview with Rona on Sunday. I will be sure to leave early enough to avoid Bay to Breaker traffic, see you at the Studio before 8:30....
heres the breif bio you asked for......

Charles McKeithan

36 years old
Married for eleven years, to Sandy McKeithan Three Children
Avery eight year old boy
Connor, six year old boy
Lauryn, 17 Month old girl.

I was raised the third child of three in a military household that traveled on a regular basis through my childhood. By eighteen, I had seen more of the world than most people see in a lifetime. I have always been outgoing and energetic with a knack for stealing attention and more than my share of the conversation. A combination that has served me well as a Bay Area Actor but not always so well as a husband and a father.

As an Actor with a Day Job, I earn my living working as the director of facilities for Childrens' Creative Learning Centers, based out of Sunnyvale Ca. CCLC provides child care at twenty different locations to parents throughout the Bay Area as well as satellite locations in Colorado, Monterey CA and a new center opening in Folsom this fall. If it's a broken water pipe or a leaky internet connection, my job is to fix it.

In the time not devoted to work and family, I have performed both in live theater and film for the past nine years throughout the local community. I also keep a sporadically maintained Web Log ( www.charles.mckeithan.org ) and a barely duct taped together personal web site ( www.charlesmck.com ).

But my proudest accomplishment has always been my wife of ten years and my Children:

Sandy has a Masters degree in human development and works as a director for the YWCA in their parent education department. She has always been a quiet counterpoint to my search for the center stage spotlight and a worth opponent in any battle of wits.

Avery is a brilliant eight year old that reads at the level of a 16 year old, but writes like a second grader. He is somewhat shy and slow to warm up to people. He takes his mothers lead in social situations, preferring to watch from the side lines rather than draw attention from the crowd. He has great comic timing and black belt in Karate. Official diagnosed with ADD, he is struggling daily with the effort to stay on task. With each day comes new successes and fewer defeats than the day before.

Connor is six and ready to take over the universe as soon as we are ready to relinquish it to him. He has a vibrant personality and is his fathers son when it comes to the love of the spotlight. Every day is a challenge keeping up with his latest passion or newest plot, and whoa betide the person who tries to stand in his way. I frequently find myself argueing with him. A feat that, though my wife insists will lead to only his victory, envelopes me with the desire to win at all costs.

Lauryn is the third child in a family of diverse personalities and at 17 months, is already blooming into her own nich. She has her father wrapped around her little finger and the rest of the family in the palm of her hand. The wife loves having a little more estrogen around the house, but the boys have already included her in dinner table burp contests and she is not shy about wading into the daily tangle of limbs that wrestles it's way through our house.
