Eli Keller has two kids who attend PCSSD schools. His fiancée, Mary, has 3 kids. He volunteers for the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Arkansas and was recently named as the State Director!
One thing he learned during the pandemic is that more about the people in my life and their personalities. This pandemic showed me who is important in my life.
