Carmi Swift is a lifetime entrepreneur and animal lover. Carmi’s unique ability to see solutions to entrepreneurial challenges has made her an outstanding ally to both the Audio/Visual Service Industry and Integrative Animal Practitioners. Carmi spent 10 years building a successful AV Service business that worked with residential and commercial contractors to supply the latest AV equipment and fulfill installation. Late nights doing paperwork after a full day of serving customers fired her desire to make her own life easier so she sought help from her son and business partner Brooks who had a background in programming. Together, they developed a software system that reduced the time needed for project management by eliminating repetitive tasks. The system they created for their own business made such a dramatic difference, Carmi and her son made a decision to package and resell it to help others in their industry. The resulting company, iPoint Solutions LLC, owned and operated by Brooks, is a software product now internationally successful with thousands of users.

When Carmi’s dog Tate needed chiropractic care, she sought out a local practitioner and, during the appointment, her keen ability to solve problems kicked in as she watched the doctor hand write copious notes. She recognized in Dr Emily what she had seen in herself as the catalyst for the birth of iPoint Solutions. She approached Brooks about developing a software for Integrative Animal Practitioners and the rest, as they say, is history.

Today, Carmi is devoted to helping doctors provide the best care for their patients and do so efficiently with as little stress and repetition as possible. Carmi lives in the Kansas City metro with her pack of German Shepherd dogs and human family. In her spare time she enjoys dog showing, doing “projects around her home, and traveling to Marco Island, Fl to spend time with family.

Founding Partner Brooks became an entrepreneur in 2001 at 22 years of age when he founded a low-voltage home theater company called Home Connections in Topeka, KS. In 2005 the company expanded to Kansas City, MO with a second store. To meet the need of organizing and managing the Home Connections staff, Brooks built the systematic business management software known today as iPoint Control. He quickly saw a global need for this solution amongst his peers in the audio/video industry. In 2014 he established his new company iPoint Solutions LLC to meet this need. iPoint Solutions has thousands of users in the US and globally and provides two software systems: iPoint Control for AV Industry and iPoint Touch EHR for the Integrative Veterinary Medicine practices.

When not working Brooks can be found playing his guitar, scuba diving, spear fishing, reading, hanging out with his beautiful wife Kelli and their children Zoie, Gavin as well as their Golden Retriever Covi Jake.

Rob is a Utah native who moved to Minnesota where he met his future bride and embarked on a career in computer sciences. After a successful stint working in database management for the fund-raising arm of the University of Chicago, Rob found himself wanting to work more on the development side of his profession. Brooks found Rob’s resume posted and hired him to work on iPoint Control. At the time, the software was still a concept, but Rob took the risk in joining the fresh start-up and hasn’t looked back since. Rob has been largely responsible for the development of iPoint Touch since its beginning in 2015, building the software from the ground up. He has taken great interest in the docs and how they do their job, always striving to understand, and simplify, their tasks. Rob lives in the Minneapolis area with his lovely wife Bridget, and their two children Emily and Riley. Rob is a pretty serious snowboarder and is passing his love of the sport on to his children.

Shawn has been a part of the iPoint Solutions Family since its inception in 2012. She was the Office Manager for Home Connections KC, working with Carmi and Brooks. She was there when the dream for an integrative business management software originated. She has been a huge support since the begining of iPoint Solutions. Shawn is the fun and humor in the iPoint Solutions family and provides support to our community. You may not hear from her often, but she’s working in the background keeping business running smoothly for all us!
