He was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. The youngest of 3 children and the only boy, he had a lot of ambition and imagination as a child. Growing up he loved to paint pictures and would sell his work to family and neighbors. At the age of 12, Wali organized the first dog competition in his neighborhood.
