About Me

I am the proud father of two daughters (Aviv and Romi) and two sons (Michael and Noam); I am the happiest married man being married to my Jayme (I call her "my gorgeous"), and we have two female fur babies named Mia and Riley. My wife and I love combining our day jobs with entrepreneurial projects such as Visionary Entrepreneurship LLC (VE LLC) and Jemstone Innovations LLC. We continue to study on a regular basis, adding meaningful and useful certifications. We believe in constant self development and growth, rooted in learning for life.

What does the name "Kiip" mean? My favorite quote is "Knowledge itself is power," by Sir Francis Bacon in the 1500's so I used an abbreviation of the quote to get "Kiip."

In the Media

Over the years, I have appeared in the media. Please note that some links might not work or the media pieces have been removed at the desecration of the publisher. 

This video is from my employment at the University of Mary, Bismarck, ND, USA. This aired and I was explaining about the amazing achievement of having the MSCEP program being accredited as the first in blended format in the world. I am very proud of this achievement!
