He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sports and Fitness Management with a concentration in Sports Communication from Mitchell College in New London, Connecticut.

He helped the Mariners win the 2012 New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) title, their fourth straight conference crown. The team reached the title match in the following year.
McKeon was heavily involved in athletics while at Mitchell also served as the "Voice of the Mariners" at all basketball home games, serving as the Public Address Announcer for four years. Additionally, he served on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
