2. About Me
Born and raised in South Central Los Angeles. I grew up in social surroundings that most would consider life-threatening. A gang
infested environment where you either join a gang or offer your soul to stay alive. I chose to be in a gang. Not because I did not have a
father at home...because I did. Nor was it because we were on welfare and I needed to help feed my family. But to feel apart of something
that felt like a family in the streets. Protection. Until one day, when I had to try and keep a friend alive by sticking my fist in his chest to try
and stop the blood from pouring out after being shot close-range with an AK-47 assault rifle, I realized this was not the life for me.
In high school, I went on to excel in not only sports but academically as well. I obtained a baseball scholarship to play for Arizona
State University. My major was Computer and Electrical Engineering. Again, I had to adapt to a new environment. An environment that
required me to grow in a different direction. To become a man. I eventually went on to graduate from ASU. Not as an engineer, but with
a Bachelors degree in Humanities with a minor in Graphic Design...operative word being HUMANITY...this is the an area I thrive in. People!
I love working with people, creating new ideas, team collaboration and desire, passion and excitement of improving the lives of others.
Simply put...”Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you’ve got to say, and say it hot.”
After 3 years of Calculus, Physics and Differential Equations, I realized I was not feeling as if I were giving back to the people who
sacrificed so much for me to be where I am. My eyes were opened by the studies of literature and the unspoken history of the people
I am proud to be apart. African American History and my descendents therefore. A strong heritage that overcame slavery, poverty and
unjust. So when you ask...Who am I? I am an African American who is proud to say that I am not a statistic.
After over twenty years in Marketing and Graphic Design, I thought that my path had been chosen. But, what I was really doing
was using my creativity and marketing skills merely on the surface rather than igniting the deep passion I have for this business to make
a difference in the world. THAT is my purpose! In 2008, I established Keith Rosborough Designs, LLC, a freelance design studio that offers
creative services to a wide range of clients. As well as business management, I also am the Senior Designer and Brand Strategist for all
work undertaken by Keith Rosborough Designs, LLC.
A special quote that I live by: “When work, commitment, and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion
lives, nothing is impossible.”

Area on a Part or Irregular Shaped Item
(For the VE810 machine and larger and equipped with a red dot laser pointer)
It can be challenging to correctly position text and/or graphics on irregular shaped items since
they are difficult to measure or locate on the engraving table. For example, some tags may
have a design on them so you have a limited area in which to engrave.

and Chief of Staff specially trained staff work from a Clinical Operations Room
(COR) located on the Banner Desert Medical Center campus
in Mesa and connect with the individual facilities electronically to
back up physicians, nurses and other caregivers at the bedside by
helping to monitor ICU patient information.
The iCare specialists closely collaborate with onsite care providers
in providing immediate supervision and care management.
Together, the hospital and onsite teams can detect even the subtlest
of changes in your patient’s vital sign trends at a moment’s notice,
allowing the onsite hospital team to intervene before complica-
tions occur. This timely response has been shown to result in
shorter hospital stays, fewer patient complications and a 25 percent
decrease in mortality rates.
