Kerig began his television career with a show called "The Dirty Side" about the then-fledgling sport of mountain biking. Based in Vail, Colorado, The Dirty Side reported on trends, personalities, and a race series that became the largest enterprise of its kind in the country. Kerig wrote, hosted, sold ads, and produced the show for three years.
Skiing and biking in numerous commercials and action sports films, Kerig expanded his work in front of the camera. At the same time he was writing for Skiing magazine, so when the publication needed someone to host its Private Lessons series of ski tips on the Weather Channel, it chose Kerig. He hosted Private Lessons for five years.

A concurrent opportunity presented itself in the form of a host position of the new winter sports show called Playing in Style that was about to begin airing on the Fox Sports Network. Kerig was hired as one of four hosts (one of the other's included skiing legend Billy Kidd), but soon took over as producer and writer of the show as well. The show aired for two seasons on Fox Sports before the investors decided to change its format. Kerig produced the pilot for the new show, but it was never picked up for distribution.

In 1998 Kerig went back to the hosting with a stint as an ESPN Winter X Games commentator. He served as the expert analyst on skiing in the second annual ESPN X Games.

The same year he also produced for CBS on the Sports/News Desk at the 1998 Nagano Olympics. His stories included the introduction of snowboarding as an Olympic sport, the controversy over Canadian snowboarding gold medal winner Ross Rebagliati testing positive for marijuana, and Jonny Moseley's gold medal in moguls.

When he came back to the states he produced an ABC News special on the 1999 World Extreme Skiing Championships. In 1999 he produced a piece for CBS's 48 Hours on skier Picabo Street.

He is currently at work on an original series involving worldwide travel and Third World artisans.
