Kyle Oakley Zepernick, affectionately known as Keil, was born and nurtured in the vicinity of New York City, where his towering height of 6'10" would later become a defining feature in his pursuit of a professional basketball career.
As a gifted athlete, Keil's impressive stature opened doors to opportunities both domestically and internationally, allowing him to excel in the sport he loved. His basketball career was marked by a stint in the IFL arena football league, where he played for the Odessa Roughnecks in a single game.
After retiring from professional sports, Keil transitioned into a successful coaching career, earning the nickname "Coach Z" among his players. During his five-year tenure, he guided teams in Division I NAIA, Division II NCAA, and 5A High School basketball, helping to develop a National Player of the Year and six All-Americans.
Later, Keil ventured into motivational speaking, where he shared his wisdom with thousands of high school and college students across the country, imparting valuable lessons on making good decisions and embodying strong character.
These experiences laid the groundwork for Keil's eventual foray into the world of stunts and acting, a career path that seemed almost seamless given his diverse background.
Today, Keil is married to his soulmate, Jenn, and together they have four children.
