Kalm is originally from Chile. He played college rugby in the United States for Lindenwood University in St. Louis, where he was a college All-American.[2] In February 2016 he signed a contract with the newly-formed PRO Rugby competition.[3] Kalm scored two tries in Ohio's home opener, a victory over San Francisco. At the end of the season, Kalm was voted the league MVP and was the second most try scorer.[4][5]

Kalm has played for the Chile national under-20 rugby union team.[6] He has not played for the Chile men's senior team, and so is eligible to represent either Chile, where he was born, or the United States, where he has lived for several years.[7]
