Maynard Keller has lived in the City of Roanoke for 30 years. His wife, Rachel, is a teacher at Roanoke Valley Christian School. Together, they have five children and three grandchildren. Maynard grew up in a blue collar household in rural Pennsylvania. His dad worked in a paper factory and his mom was a school bus driver. During summers, Maynard worked to pay his way through school on hot roofs throughout Pennsylvania. Here, he learned the value of hard work and why his family of immigrants came to America in search of the American dream.
