About Ken Leebow
Ken Leebow’s claim to fame is: He simplfies technology. He believes technology is too difficult to use.
He has been in the technology world for over 25 years. He graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in accounting. While he earned his CPA early in his career, he found his calling in the technology world.
In 1988, he started a voice mail company — VIP (Voice Information Processing). When asked about voice mail now, he chuckles. “Back then, we had to educate people about voice mail; how to leave messages, press 1, 2, or 3. Of course, now everyone uses voice mail — for better or worse.”
In 1996, while computers were answering his customer’s calls, he started surfing the Net. He was fascinated by all the incredible Web sites. However, in true Leebow tradition: He thought it was difficult to find all the gems.
So . . . he decided to write his first book: 300 Incredible Things to Do on the Internet. To date, his books have sold over 3-million copies. While Leebow’s books are self-published, he did sell one title to Time/Warner.
Since 2000, Leebow has served as NBC’s (Atlanta) Internet Guru. In this capacity, he has a weekly TV segment about timely Internet issues.
In 2003, Leebow took on the role of Qwest Communications’ Incredible Internet Guy. As the Incredible Internet Guy, Leebow has appeared on TV and discussed many interesting and timely Internet topics. He speaks to kids and adults about Internet safety and a myriad of other Internet issues. And, he provides content to Qwest’s Web site: IncredibleInternet.com.
Over the past ten years, Ken has done hundreds of radio interviews and has been seen on many local TV stations. In addition to his local appearances, he has been seen nationally on CNN, Fox News, NBC’s Early Today, Oprah’s Oxygen Network, and the Discovery Channel.
As an Internet expert, Leebow travels the country educating and entertaining audiences about technology and the Internet. In these presentations, he loves presenting incredible Web sites, discussing the future of technology, and presenting the pros and cons of the technology world. When relating to technology, he’s fond of saying: “Two steps forward and one back.”
When not on the Internet, you can find Ken playing golf, tennis, boating, biking, reading, or spending time with his family. He is living proof that being addicted to the Internet doesn’t mean giving up on life offline.
Oh yeah, he has become addicted to high-definition TV. When observing this technology, Leebow has high expectations. He believes and hopes this technology will transform the education system.
