Early Life

Ever since a young age, Kali had a passion for sports and athletics and because of that, he took part in a variety of sports when he was in middle school.

But at this time his younger brother died in an accidental shooting and this incident put his life in a spiral that led him into making a series of poor decisions.

Prison Time

He spent the majority of his prison time in either a library or a gym. He was released from prison in 2008 due to good behavior.

Starting a Career as an Online Personality

• After being released from prison, Kali started a YouTube channel on April 10th, 2008. Initially, he posted videos about exercise and how you can perform a variety of workouts anywhere and anytime.
