When Kip was 15 years old he fell off the hood of a truck when he was "truck surfing". Kip spent 10 days in a coma due to this, and he nearly died as a result of his horseplay. When Kip was a senior in high school, his daughter was born. Lyndey Brooke Rushton was born on January 26, 1997.

Within a week, he got a promotion to a material handler. In November of 1997 tragedy struck the Supreme Plastics family, when a fire burned the bulding down, and we lost one of our coworkers as a result of it. As the plant rebuilt and grew, Kip grew with it, becoming a technician, and an assistant supervisor. In December 2001 the corporation that owned Supreme Plastics closed the plant, leaving over 200 people without jobs. Kip immediately got a job at 3D Plastics Inc. as a night shift supervisor, where he worked for 2 1/2 years. After leaving that job, and having 2 other jobs in the plastics industry, he got a job working for Joey Meaux at Elite Plastics as a night shift supervisor.
