About
Good Dads
Chillicothe
Known as the Home of Sliced Bread, Chillicothe has a proud tradition of innovation, community, and family values. Good Dads Chillicothe is honored to be part of that legacy by investing in fathers and strengthening families throughout Livingston County and the surrounding area.
We believe that engaged, responsible fathers play a vital role in the well-being of children and in building stronger, healthier communities. Through educational classes, support, and community partnerships, Good Dads Chillicothe equips fathers with practical skills to improve relationships, navigate challenges, and become the dads their children need. Our programs provide encouragement, accountability, and opportunities for men to connect with others who share a desire to grow as fathers and role models.
Meet Our Team
Facilitator Rodney Keller
Rodney Keller is a Missouri Probation and Parole Officer and the proud father of two adult children. Throughout his career, Rodney has served communities across Missouri in law enforcement, first as a police officer and later as a Missouri Alcohol and Tobacco Control Agent. He has called Chillicothe home since 2001 and values the strong sense of community that makes the area unique.
When he is not serving others, Rodney enjoys spending time with family and playing the drums with various honky-tonk bands. His passion for fatherhood and helping men succeed led him to become involved with Good Dads.
Rodney finds encouragement in the Good Dads organization because he sees it as one of the few voices in our culture intentionally championing the importance of fatherhood. He considers it a privilege to serve as a facilitator for the Good Dads FORGE program and is honored to walk alongside fathers as they strengthen relationships, overcome challenges, and build brighter futures for their children.
As a lifelong public servant and devoted father, Rodney brings experience, compassion, and a genuine desire to see families in the Chillicothe community thrive.
