• Keenan has played in at least one semifinal in all four years playing beach volleyball.

• In his five championship matches, Keenan has had to face the top-seeded team each time.

2010: Keenan began a new partnership with Casey Jennings, placing ninth in their first two AVP events as well as their first two FIVB tournaments. He reached his first FIVB semifinal in the Moscow Grand Slam.
2009: Began a partnership with Nick Lucena, advancing to the semifinals in their first outing. In their 13 AVP events, they made it to the semifinals six times, including four straight since returning from international play. Keenan was second in aces per game (.80) and fifth in blocks per game (1.46). On the FIVB Tour, they made the main draw in three of their five tournaments, including placing 17th in the World Championships in Stavanger.
2008: With Hyden, advanced to eight semifinals, including three championship matches, losing to top-seeded Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers in all three finals. He completed the season with an individual ranking of fifth. Hyden was second in kills per game (7.46), fifth in hitting percentage (.433), sixth in blocks per game (1.75) and ninth in aces per game (.52).
2007: Played the first two events with Mayer, then formed a partnership with John Hyden, advancing to the semifinals in their first outing. The duo played in six Final Fours, including the championship match in Chicago. Keenan ended the year ranked eighth in season points, and was named the AVP's Most Improved Player. He was third in kills per game (7.49), fifth in aces per game (.65) and sixth in blocks per game (1.63).
2006: Keenan began his pro beach volleyball career with John Mayer, a former collegiate teammate at Pepperdine, playing in the qualifiers in his first five tournaments. After failing to make the main draw in the first two outings, the duo placed 25th and then 17th before a record-tying performance in Hermosa Beach. The pair won three qualifier matches then proceeded to finish third, tying for the highest AVP finish by a qualifier. The high finish secured an automatic main draw berth for Keenan the rest of the season. After playing one event with Paul Baxter, he reuinted with Mayer, with a best of ninth place. Keenan, the AVP Rookie of the Year, ranked third in aces per game (.72) and eighth in blocks per game (1.61).

Hot Winter Nights: Keenan played in five Hot Winter Night events in 2008, winning in his final outing in Portland. In 2009 he played in three HWN events, again winning in his final outing in Cleveland.

In 2002 and 2003 he was chosen as the AVCA Player of the Year. As a senior he led the nation in blocks while also ranking among the leaders in kills and aces. Pepperdine played in the NCAA Tournament three of his four seasons, and were runner-ups in 2002. He graduated with a BS in Accounting and left the school as the record holder in career blocks and service aces.
