Keith Hummer
Originally from Washington, DC, Keith spent his early years in Northern Virginia, before attending university at VCU in Richmond.
A child of rock and roll, Keith sang and played drums in bands until his early thirties, when his parental duties got in the way. Later, while living in Fredericksburg, he had a stint with the local Big Band Society, as a substitute drummer.
He developed into a fan of other musical genres, adding classical, jazz and roots music to his personal likes.
He was instantly awed the first time he attended a concert at Garth Newel and heard world-class chamber music, performed in what used to be a horse barn.
Since that first trip, six years ago, Keith and his wife, Cindy, have volunteered their expertise in construction, and as former innkeepers, to assist Garth Newel with planning and cost estimating for various campus projects.
