KEITH J. DAVIS JR.

Keith J. Davis Jr (born 1989) he is an American young. Keith is an extraordinary young man with a joyous spirit and an emerging presence. The son of Mr. D-MARS, he grew up surrounded by the business world and a father with a powerful presence as an innovator in the field of marketing. Raised in Houston, Texas, Keith J. Davis Jr. has swiftly become one of the most sought-after young speakers in the city.

The budding entrepreneur, speaker, author, actor, and model is the founder of the Keith J. Davis Jr. Foundation that empowers, educates and motivates youth and teens to become future leaders through thought-provoking seminars, writings, networking functions and more.

Keith J. Davis Jr. grew up watching his father sell watches, clothing and anything else he could get his hands on.

Following his dad’s footsteps, ten-year-old Keith ventured to a wholesale market, where he bought a dozen hats at a few bucks a pop. He sold them all back for about $10 in profit each. Instead of being satisfied with his success, Keith kept selling: at school, he sold everything from Yu-Gi-Oh cards to magnetic earrings to bubble gum.

Today, Keith is 19 and he’s gone from his middle school’s ‘bubble gum man’ to a college freshman at the University of Houston and an entrepreneur of all trades. He somehow finds time to be a nationally known public speaker, actor, model, newspaper publisher, and author. His newspaper, Fyt Ya (renaming to Idealist Magazine), and his book, Young? So What!, are both aimed towards empowering young people to become successful entrepreneurs.

In 2007, he launched the newspaper FYTYA (For Youth, Teens, and Young Adults), to provide a means through which young people receive a wealth of information, contribute stories, gain exposure and get connected to the world around them.

Keith’s media presence has extended to guest spots on Fox, KPRC, KHOU and articles in The Final Call, Fort Bend News, Rolling Out, African-American News & Issues, Houston Forward Times, D- Mars Business Journal, Style Magazine and other publications. He landed acting roles in several commercials including HIV/AIDS awareness spots aired on BET, ESPN, AEN, Comedy Central, ENN, ESPN 1 & 2, OXYGEN, Hallmark, Golf Channel, Lifetime Movie Network, Lifetime Channel, HGTV, FSS, ESPC, VH1, TNT, TLC, Food Channel, VS, SOAP, SPK, A&E, MTV.

In 2008 he published his first book, Young? So What! 10 Steps to become a successful young entrepreneur. In 10 easy to read and attainable steps, Keith reveals a path towards becoming a young entrepreneur, no matter what your age is. Though not meant to be a cliche, the title Young? So What! has become a slogan of hope for a generation with enormous challenges but a wealth of potential.

Let this young man help you take your life to the next level! What are you waiting for? The time is now.
