Gregory Keer is an award-winning writer, educator, and on-air expert on fatherhood. He has written his Family Man® column since 2001, when he began the monthly stories of life as a modern dad while he served as editor-in-chief at Los Angeles Family magazine. Over the years, the column has been syndicated and read by hundreds of thousands of readers across the country and abroad in dozens of magazines both in print and online.

 

Keer’s Family Man® columns and parenting writing have won five awards (four Gold, one Silver) from the Parenting Media Association (PMA), including the 2011 Gold award in the Humor Column category and 2023 Gold award as a part of the writing team at L.A. Parent.

 

Before launching FamilyMan.blog, Keer served as the editor/publisher of FamilyManOnline.com, one of the first online magazines dedicated to the father’s perspective. Starting in 2003, the site remained a widely read fatherhood site in the U.S. and abroad. Parents Magazine named FamilyManOnline.com one of the Web’s Best Daddy Blogs. In addition to his columns and blog, Keer critiqued “kindie rock” and was named by Zooglobble as one of the country’s leading reviewers in the ever-growing world of family music.

 

Keer’s story-telling columns and advice-oriented articles have led to numerous print, Internet, and TV appearances. He has been on air with PBS, FOX News, and Washington Post Radio, as well as a number of local news programs. His articles and expert quotes have been published in USA Today, Parenting magazine, Newsday, Redbook, Disney’s Family.com, Parenthood.com, and EducationWorld.com. Additionally, Keer’s work has been published in textbooks on parenthood and education.

 

As a high school educator, Keer works with teens as a dean of students, arts department chair, community programming directors, and teacher of Film, History, and English. At home, Keer and his Child Development Professor wife are frequently outsmarted by their three boys, ages 19, 22, and 25.
