"The staff at KKI has taken our network to the next level.  We contacted them for a quote to install a new computer network complete with a new server and new workstations.  KKI took the time to listen carefully to our unique needs and then designed a network  that is faster, more secure and much more reliable than our previous one.  In addition, Jonathan and the rest of the staff at KKI are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.  I would highly recommend KKI to anyone!"

Joe Blackmon

CEO

Joe came to KKI Technologies in 2002 after working in a wide range of technical and managerial capacities such as working with a DoD contractor, the National Center for Supercomputing Application (NCSA), the University of Illinois, and helping start a technical development company in Champaign, IL. After leaving the tech startup in the hands of investors, Joe was invited by his friend and brother in Christ, Elmo Joseph, to join the team of KKI Technologies, and realized the Lord was calling him and his family to make a surprising move to Bartlesville, Oklahoma! Since his arrival in 2003, Joe has enjoyed the fellowship of the men at KKI; focusing on building KKI into a truly Kingdom company with a reputation of integrity, high business standards and technical excellence. Joe believes that true success is knowing and doing the will of our Father in heaven.

Joe has also become involved with several local organizations whose goals are to end poverty within our lifetime. He strongly believes in serving the community of Bartlesville through the business that KKI provides, through personal and family involvement, helping organizations, and most importantly, by connecting folks who need help with folks and organizations can truly help so that both parties are be blessed in the process. Joe also loves spending time with his wife, Cyndi and daughter, Grace, and participates in Grace’s homeschooling and life in general, every chance he gets!

Elmo O. Joseph

Founder

Elmo was originally from S.E. Kansas and spent most of his school years in central Oklahoma.  He attended the University of Oklahoma and Pittsburg State College.

He went to work for the Missouri Kansas Texas Railroad in 1969. After 20 years with the railroad, he started Kontemporary Keyboards, Inc in 1989, which served most of S.E. Kansas by selling and installing computers. KKI progressed from a computer sales company to a computer service company in the 1990’s. Before the end of the 1990’s, KKI had become a computer network company and after 2000 became a technical consulting company. Today KKI has become a managed services company.

In the early 2000’s, KKI Technologies opened an office in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, expanding into N.E. Oklahoma. In 2004, Elmo moved from Coffeyville, KS to Bartlesville, OK where he lives with his wife Carol. Although semi-retired, Elmo continues to function in the ownership and leadership of KKI while enjoying his ten grandchildren.

Mark Mays is a Network Engineer who has been recognized as a Microsoft Certified Professional. He also holds multiple HP Laser Jet Printer repair certifications.

Mark came to KKI in 2003 with a background in Office Management, Mechanics and Customer Service. He has worked hard to pair this experience with an innate ability to understand computer problems. This pairing gives him the aptitude to truly understand what a client wants and needs from their technology solution, rather than just the ability to “fix a problem.”  This outlook means that he enjoys working with our clients to give them the best solution possible.

In the often-times stressful field of information technologies, Mark is able to lean on a favorite quote, ”Be assured, if you walk with God and look to God, and expect help from God, He will never fail you.” - George Mueller

He was active at Town and Christian Church and in Boy Scouts Troop 23—achieving Eagle Scout on April 5, 2001. Today, he and his wife, Tiffiny and his 2-year-old son, Ethan attend First Baptist Church.

“After having been laid off for about 3 months with no responses from a lot of companies, God led me to turn in a resume at KKI Technologies, where it is just amazing how perfect the fit is!,” Andrew recently shared. He went on to say that he enjoys working at KKI because of the co-workers and the Christian environment that continually helps him to grow in his faith. He also enjoys KKI because it is a challenging environment that keeps him learning continually and because of the interaction with the clients.

He has developed a strong priority of making sure clients are fully satisfied and are equipped with solutions that are beneficial to their needs and that make good business sense.

KKI Technologies has allowed Rob to support his real passion, which is serving Jesus Christ.  When Rob’s not working for KKI, he is the student pastor at H2O Church in Bartlesville. His life goal is to know Jesus Christ more and more, and to pass the help God has given Him on to others.
