Before Kenya
He was born in Minnesota and raised on a dirt farm there. In the early 1960s, he served as a paratrooper in the United States Army. He joined the Mill Hill Missionaries at some point before 1965, while he was still in the U.S. Army.

Kenyan years
He arrived in Kenya in December 1964.

In February 1999, Daniel Arap Moi formed a tribunal, the Akiwumi Commission, to investigate the causes of over 1,000 deaths in Kenya in the 1990s. This commission convened in Nakuru, and Fr. Kaiser testified before it.

He was buried at Lolgorien in Trans Mara District.
