He attended schools #5, Jefferson Middle School, and Edison Tech. He later received his G.E.D and planned on attending college to pursue a degree in Business. Kelvin was looking forward to relocating to Florida to start a Sling Shot Business in Florida after graduation.
Kelvin had a keen eye for fashion trends. It was very rare that Kelvin wore the same outfit more than once.

When he was younger, he also played for Lake Avenue Baptist Church Basketball League where he received numerous awards and trophies.
