Kiki was the youngest of 3 siblings. At the age of 5, Kiki, together with his family migrated to Alberta, Canada where he began his elementary education.

In 1996, the family moved to Wharton, Texas and later settling in Richmond, Texas in 2001. Kiki accomplished anything he set his mind to do. He was very active and athletic from childhood as he played soccer, hockey, basketball, football, and track & field. Leading into adulthood, he enjoyed jogging, weight lifting, golf, and many other activities that kept him fit and trim.
