Dusty Keiser grew up in Norfolk, NE, and spent the majority of his youth on the sports field or in the field hunting. Through sport and outdoors activities he learned the value of hard work, team work and also gained a deep appreciation for the environment.
Dusty attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln
and was a walk-on tight end for the Huskers. He graduated in 2005 with a Bachelors degree in business administration
and moved west to Sidney, NE, to take a job with Cabela's. He enjoyed his time at Cabela's and the outdoor opportunities that the Nebraska panhandle offered, but the corporate scene didn't light his fire. He eventually moved back to Omaha in 2009 and took a job as the Camping Director for the Mid America Council, Boy Scouts of America. In this role he managed 2,000 acres of land and 25,000 annual campers in both Iowa and Nebraska. Side note this was some of the best deer hunting ground I have ever seen.
The land management aspect of the his Camping Director role was the catalyst for his increasing interest in agronomy. Eventually this new found interest led him to Indian Creek 3 years ago. Dusty's passion for the environment and agronomy has enabled him to learn quickly and he was promoted to an assistant position earlier this year. He has been a valuable team member and continues to improve his eye for turf.
Outside of his role on the golf course Dusty has also started the Indian Creek "Micro Farm" a 10,000 square foot garden behind our maintenance facility. This "micro farm" is in its very early stages but we hope to someday provide quality produce at locally marketable quantities. Who knows someday you can play a round of golf and leave with a bag of fresh veggies.
