Before coaching at Mount Olive, Keohohou played professionally in England while getting his degree from Durham University in Education. He also coached at various clubs and high schools throughout California, piloted the Kamehameha Schools in Maui during the 2017 season, and even joined the University of Nebraska’s Camp Staff in the summer of 2022.

He is the all-time record holder for career and single-season digs, as well as digs per set in a career and season, for the Matadors. He ended his collegiate career with a bang as he helped CSUN to a NCAA Final Four appearance in 2010. He holds a degree in Recreation Tourism Management with a focus in Sports Management.
