The Kefi Life lifestyle, is centered on its founder, Kiki Vale.

This first generation Hellene grew up in a traditional Greek household - lots of noise, stories, food, music, family and friends. Her family owned TASSO'S GREEK RESTAURANT, where she worked everyday after school. During college, Kiki spent time in Greece where she studied the Greek language and teachings of Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, and Hippocrates. Kiki further developed her love and appreciation for everything about the Greek lifestyle.

After returning from Greece, Kiki completed her degree in Broadcast Journalism from Loyola University in Chicago. Upon graduation, she moved back to KCMO and began her job search as on-air personality. One year after sending out air checks and resumes, she landed her first weekend gig at KCNW Radio in Metropolitan, Kansas. She climbed quickly, working on the air in various radio formats: News, Top 40, Country, soft rock, Christian, and Talk. In 2010, Kiki rolled out her first self produced talk show, The Kiki Vale Show, under the LLC Koukla Productions. Koukla Productions currently produces programming which educates, enlightens and inspires the masses to live a life of Ola Kala - All Is Well. Kiki shares the Kefi spirit through the airwaves.

During this period of career growth, Kiki and her husband started a family. While raising her four children, Kiki wanted to build on her knowledge of how to live vivaciously and naturally. This led her to enroll in the school of Integrative Nutrition and graduate with a certification in Holistic Health. Today, Kiki uses her education, life experience, and pursuit of living a life of Ola Kala to to bring you Kefi Life® The Podcast and Kefi Life natural products, including Kefi Life® extra virgin olive oil.
