An internationally-recognized, luxury real estate & lifestyle entrepreneur, Keir is now focused on sharing his expertise and success through a next-generation education and information company.

Keir’s success is the result of a life-changing event that forever altered his path when he was in college. He was responsible for an alcohol-related boating accident that unfortunately and tragically killed his friend. Weimer served three and a half years in New York state prison for his crime. He overcame the adversity that became his daily life, including when he was released and faced rejection from graduate schools and society, never giving up and always staying committed to his vision for a life of impact and purpose. He pledged to help others overcome extreme hardship and achieve greatness. Weimer chronicled his harrowing experience behind bars in his book, A Quest for Redemption. 

During his time incarcerated, Keir decided he would repurpose his life to one of sobriety, contribution, impact, and redemption.
