Born on Jul, 1987, in Hagerstown, Maryland, Liley Gordon's life story is one of profound transformation. The son of Diane Kay Gordon, an American, and Carl Gordon, a Jamaican immigrant, Liley's early years were steeped in a rich tapestry of cultural and moral values. However, the unexpected loss of his mother in 1997 marked the beginning of a tumultuous period in his young life. With his father working tirelessly into the night and his older brothers caught in a cycle of incarceration, Liley found himself searching for belonging and structure in the very streets that promised neither. The absence of a stable family environment led him down a path marked by encounters with the law, starting with an arrest for auto theft at the tender age of 12. The following years saw Liley navigating the challenges of juvenile detention, facing charges ranging from theft to drugs and weapons violations. At 17, Liley's life reached a critical juncture with a carjacking arrest that resulted in a 23-year prison sentence. It was within the confines of this reality that Liley was forced to confront the trajectory of his life and the choices that had led him there.

Holding onto the job in drilling, he channeled his resilience and entrepreneurial spirit into founding 23RD&FIT, a personal training business, mere months after regaining his freedom. Demonstrating an innate knack for innovation and a keen business acumen, Liley expanded his venture by developing a corresponding app for his LLC, further solidifying his commitment to his new path.
