Kelly was born in Klamath Falls, Oregon. He holds an AA in Aviation Technology, a BA in Business Administration and an MA in Leadership. Kelly did all of his post-secondary education at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. While in college, he played intercollegiate soccer (goalkeeper) and volleyball (outside hitter). "I loved playing competitive power volleyball with guys who grew up playing the game. I was also fortunate to play for Coach Tom Graham who competed on the Canadian National Team. You learn the game at a high level when you compete and learn under guys like that. My goal is to bring that level of competition and player development to WVC."

In addition to his roles as WVC Director of Student Programs and Head Volleyball Coach, Kelly is a devoted husband and father of three.
