Sanders attended Raleigh-Broughton High School, where he first became interested in teamwork, responsibility, and community support. During those years, he developed an appreciation for helping others through organized service and emergency response work. After graduating, he enrolled at North Carolina State University. His academic experience expanded his understanding of communication, leadership, and civic involvement while reinforcing his interest in public safety and service-oriented careers.

The program prepared him for the technical responsibilities and physical demands associated with firefighting and emergency response operations. During his training, he learned how to remain focused under pressure while working alongside fellow emergency personnel during challenging situations. This experience became an important part of his preparation for active service in public safety.
Keith worked as a firefighter from 1999 through 2003, responding to emergencies that required quick thinking, physical endurance, and reliable teamwork. During those years, he gained firsthand experience supporting public safety operations and assisting communities during difficult situations. The role required discipline, preparation, and effective communication every day.
