Born in Seattle, Washington on April 16,1987 to Keith Porter-Davis and Charlotte Porter-Davis. Keith was raised by his stepfather Richard Baker Jr. after the passing of his father.

Keith attended Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana where he pledged Omega Psi Phi in 2008, a historically African American fraternity, where he was proud to tell you he was the "tail dawg". Keith loved his fraternity and was actively always representing them! Keith's passion for all things sports led him to a new sport in 2012 when he started playing Rugy in Atlanta, GA for the Atlanta Old White Rugby Club. Keith had a gregarious personality and never met a stranger, to know him was to love him. Those who really knew him knew of his love for rare and unique sneakers. He considered himself a "Semi-retired connoisseur of sneakers". Keith's shoe collection is legendary. Keith had a beautiful smile that was one of his many trademarks. We won't talk about his impeccable style. Keith traveled the world: Africa, Iceland, London, Hawaii, Bahamas, Caymen Islands, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Hati just to name a few. Keith loved life!

Keith was a proud eldest brother of his two siblings Kristopher Porter-Davis and Ranesha-Ruth Baker. Keith would often have to be reminded that he was "not" their parent as they grew up. No matter the situation, Keith was going to be "in charge" and "bossing" his two siblings around! Growing up, Keith's biggest joy was hanging out with his many cousins at his Nana's house on the weekend! In 2016 Keith proudly stepped into the role of Uncle.
