He was from Ingolstadt and studied in the city. During his time as Landvogt,he successfully appealed to have his residency moved due to foehn wind. Johann Nepomuk Karl,Prince of Liechtenstein overturned a ruling Keller had made regarding a conflict between a pastor from Eschen and the municipality of Mauren regarding timber rights,and then sent a commissioner to Vaduz to investigate it.
