Kipper also worked as a senior regional director for state affairs at America's Health Insurance Plans, Washington, and he has worked as a government relations manager for a private insurer. He has worked as a health analyst at the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, Kansas City.

Kipper has a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Wyoming.
