Ken Tipton grew up in the small St. Louis suburb of St. Charles, Missouri. He was one of those "geeks" who could tell you everything about movies. He acted in every play possible in high school, during his stint in the Air Force and while working for IBM. Ken's other passion was business. He is a natural-born "entrepreneur" in every sense. He ran a "chain" of eight Kool-Aid stands at age 11, and opened an aerial advertising company that used powered-hangliders called "High Signs" at age 24. Combining his love of business with his love of movies, he opened one of the first video rental stores in the St. Louis area called "Video Library" in 1981. With a lot of hard work, things went well and by the time he left IBM in 1985, he had six stores and was rated as one of the "Top 100" video companies in America by "Video Store" magazine.
