Kenneth Crawford, known professionally as Montez Ford, was born in Chicago, Illinois, on May 31, 1990. He grew up on Chicago’s South Side and later in Anson County, North Carolina. Prior to his wrestling career, Ford served in the U.S. Marine Corps from September 2008 to 2012, where he achieved a perfect 300 score on his physical fitness test. His athletic abilities were evident from a young age, excelling as a track star in high school, setting records in the 200- and 400-meter dashes.
Ford embarked on his professional wrestling journey in 2015, signing a developmental contract with WWE and beginning training at the WWE Performance Center. Despite having no prior experience in sports-entertainment, his natural athleticism quickly made him a standout. He made his in-ring debut in September 2015 and officially adopted the ring name Montez Ford in December 2016. In 2017, he formed The Street Profits with Angelo Dawkins, a partnership that would define much of his career. The duo quickly rose through the ranks, first gaining recognition in NXT and on the independent circuit. They secured a five-month reign as EVOLVE Tag Team Champions and, at NXT TakeOver: XXV in June 2019, captured the NXT Tag Team Titles in a Fatal 4-Way Ladder Match.
His career progression continued with a move to WWE’s main roster on Raw, where The Street Profits defeated Seth Rollins and Murphy to win the Raw Tag Team Titles in March 2020. This success translated to SmackDown when they were drafted later that year, trading their Raw Tag Team Championship for The New Day’s SmackDown Tag Team Championship. This made them only the second team to achieve the WWE Tag Team Triple Crown, a feat they accomplished in record time. In March 2025, The Street Profits secured their second WWE Tag Team Championship by defeating #DIY. Beyond wrestling, Ford has also pursued a music career under the stage name King Tez, releasing several albums.
