Keaton Sedam SM ‘13

Known not only for his love of “emo” music but also for his love of high-top sneakers and plaid, Keaton Sedam is a West Coast transplant from sunny Southern California (Los Angeles, to be exact). Even as a young child, Keaton knew he was destined for greatness. When at home with his family and closest friends, Keaton enjoys drifting (think Fast and the Furious), drinking lattes, and acting like a typical Californian. Yale was an obvious choice for Keaton because he knew the YPMB would be his ticket to fame!

You may be thinking: “Hey, this Keaton guy looks familiar.” Well you are correct! Keaton has served as: the Freshmen Representative in ‘09-‘10 (affectionately known as FRep), a Kappa Banga Banga Section Leader in ‘10 (there is never enough cowbell), and as Social Chair during the ‘11 season. Besides some other unofficial positions along the way (what’s a Singing Bus Leader?), Keaton has successfully worked his way up the food chain and now specializes in making sure the band always has enough pizza. However, he can sometimes be found banging’ a drum for old time’s sake when he isn’t finalizing poncho counts on rainy days.

When he isn’t managing the YPMB, Keaton can usually be found playing guitar or wearing baseball hats in Silliman. Occasionally, during designated hours, Keaton attends classes and diligently works on homework. As an American Studies major, Keaton is interested in the intersection of politics, religion, and minority groups in small-town America. Ask him about being American sometime.

As a young man, Keaton played competitive basketball for ten years and rose to the challenge of cutthroat athletics through perseverance and hard work. He now channels his athletic tendencies and game-like tenacity into his job as YPMB manager. Whether he is answering emails, holding up a whiteboard, or making sure everyone is happy, Keaton does his job with swiftness, pride, and massive swag. If you ever need help with a problem, have a question about anything, or just need a hug, Keaton is the right person to find.
