Background

Zander Keig grew up in southern California. At age six, Keig got encephalitis and required extensive rehabilitation. In adolescence, Keig reportedly “was placed in a group home, attended an alternative school and was repeatedly suspended until he eventually dropped out of high school.”

After serving in the Coast Guard, Keig worked at the Job Corps while earning a bachelor’s degree from Metropolitan State College of Denver in 1999, followed by three master’s degrees (Nova Southeastern University in 2003, Pacific School of Religion in 2004, and San Diego State University in 2012). Keig then worked in Veteran’s employment services at the VA and the Department of Defense.

Keig began an 8-year gender transition at age 30.

Activism

Keig serves on the board for conservative organization Institute for Liberal Values and frequently appears in media to discuss topics from a conservative transgender perspective.
