CBS’ ‘Tough as Nails’ is a reality competition series that pits hard-working people from all walks of life against one another to test their physical and mental strength. In every installment, the contestants go through a set of complex challenges at job sites, and the winner gets to walk away with a $200,000 cash prize and the title of the toughest individual in America. The best part here is that the other players also get to collect rewards during particular trials based on their performance. And hoping to prove her worth on season 3 is Kelsy Reynolds, so here’s what we know about her.
Kelsy Reynolds’ Background: Where is She From?
Born on September 25, 1990, Kelsy Reynolds is a Mansfield, Illinois, native who’s proud of her small-town living. From what we can discern, she hails from a very tight-knit family and has a total of four sisters, including Kalyn Kauffman and Phoebe Kaye. Along with her loving mother, Kim, they’re an essential part of her life and act as her support system. Unfortunately, as for Kelsy’s father, Paul Dean Reynolds, he died from a crop-dusting helicopter accident in August 2014 at 47. A US Army veteran, Paul was the one who got Kelsy into flying and crop-dusting in the first place.

“Big shout out to my favorite veteran of all times!!,” Kelsy once penned for her father on Instagram. “Miss you dad so much!! I love you so much words can’t explain! Have a wonderful day up in heaven, I know you will! This picture was taken back when my dad went through flight school and flew the cobra. I LOVE YOU DAD!!!”
