Graduating in 2005 from Millersville University, Terry McKim began his career as Director of Sales and Marketing for a regional commercial printing and marketing company, and subsequently served as Business Development Manager for Reese Ad Agency. During this time, he founded and built his first company, Digitizing, a Digital Advertising Company, which he successfully sold in 2011.

Terry was then recruited to Lords & Ladies Salons as Director of Marketing and Communications, where he developed and repositioned their brand. Seeing an unserved market in the children’s hair care, he co-founded Rock the Locks, a natural hair care product line for kids. Rocks the Locks eventually merged with another international children’s’ product line with distribution in over 4,000 retail outlets nationwide.

In 2014, Terry conceptualized Tippy, the digital tipping system for the service industry, and immediately began testing the software throughout the industry. Officially launched nationwide in 2018, Tippy is currently in 47 states and has over 25,000 users.
