Leadership Team

Steve Clough

Co-Founder, President & Chairman of the Board

Steve Clough, founder, and co-owner with his wife, Cindy, of Just For Kix, a Baxter-based full-service dance company with 200 youth programs in 12 states, has a 40+ year track record of running successful businesses. Just For Kix, Just For Kix catalog, and The Teehive are all family-owned and operated in the Brainerd Lakes area of Minnesota. Steve developed a passion for investing early in his career and started investing in cryptocurrencies in 2017. In 2021 Steve and his son Jerad decided to try mining Bitcoin and Etherium on a small scale. In a very short time, they knew they wanted to expand their small mining business into a large-scale company. Through some early trial and error, they knew they needed to bring in some very smart people as consultants, and Just For Krypto was born. A 1.5MW Immersion farm was started inside The Teehive in August 2021. Then an additional 1.5MW of immersion was added. The profits were apparent, so a building and 20MW were contracted and are currently being launched in Brainerd, MN. Steve has the willingness to try new things, a team around him to execute the plans, and has been reinvigorated in his career at 64 years old with the birth of Just For Krypto, and he is extremely excited about the future.
