​

Hi, Sports Fans!

​

I'm Todd Keiser, a sports artist from Yutan, Nebraska. Growing up, I lived and breathed sports. I played baseball, football, basketball, and track, but baseball stole my heart early on. I loved the competition, the grind, and the brotherhood that came with being part of a team. When my dream of playing ball didn't pan out, God had another path for me: the United States Marine Corps.

For more than 20 years, the Marine Corps has been my calling. Serving our country, leading Marines, and putting others before myself has shaped the man, husband, and father I am today. 

​

My Journey With Art

Art has been a lifelong passion that has traveled with me through every chapter of my life. As a kid, we didn't have phones or tablets -just crayons, pencils, and imagination. I spent countless hours drawing for family and friends. A special thank you goes to my hometown art teacher, Miss Meese, who taught me from third grade all the way through my senior year. Her encouragement helped spark an artistic fire that has never gone away.

Today, I see my ability to create art as one of the gifts God has blessed me with. As I prepare for life after the Marines, I feel called to use that gift for something bigger than myself. That's where "Sports Art With a Purpose" was born.

​

My Mission: More Than a Painting. A Greater Purpose.

My vision for Keiser Sports Art is about more than capturing an athlete, a jersey, or an unforgettable moment in sports history. It's about honoring the people behind the uniform - their character, faith, perseverance, leadership, sacrifices, and the impact they make on others.

I don't paint just anyone. I intentionally seek out athletes whose stories represent something meaningful, whether it's overcoming adversity, inspiring the next generation, serving their communities, or simply demonstrating what it means to lead with character.

But I also believe the artwork itself can do something meaningful.

Through partnerships with athletes, foundations, and charitable organizations, my goal is to use my artwork to help raise awareness and support causes that matter. Whether it's supporting children and families battling childhood cancer, helping young people reach their potential, or giving back to a cause an athlete holds close to their heart, I want my art to make a difference beyond the canvas.

My hope is to build lasting relationships with athletes and organizations, create artwork that preserves their legacies, and contribute to the missions they care about.

What guides me as a Marine - Serve Others - will continue to guide me as an artist.

I believe God gives each of us talents for a reason, and I want to be a good steward of mine. My faith in Jesus Christ, my family, and my desire to serve others are at the center of everything I do.

A Lifelong Love of Sports

Being from Nebraska, I'm a die-hard Cornhuskers fan. My dad took me to my first Husker game in 1995, where we watched the boys in red dominate Iowa State. I'll never forget letting that first red balloon fly. Go Big Red!

My NFL team is the Detroit Lions, thanks to my childhood favorite, Barry Sanders. And when it comes to baseball, I've always rooted for the New York Yankees. Growing up drawing athletes, especially baseball players, the Yankees' rich history and legendary icons made a lasting impression on me and fueled my passion for sports art.

Those connections are a big part of what inspires my work today, from honoring Husker legends to celebrating the athletes and moments that bring generations of fans together.

​

My Road Ahead

As I enter the final stretch of my Marine Corps career, I'm working to build Keiser Sports Art into a full-time business that combines my love for sports, art, faith, and family.

My ultimate goal is to return home to Nebraska, continue creating meaningful sports artwork, coach and support my kids through their student-athletic journeys, and build a business that allows me to serve others for years to come.

​

Thank you for being part of this journey, supporting my artwork, and helping make it possible for art to do more than hang on a wall.

Semper Fidelis,

Todd Keiser
