COMPANY
  Founders

Dick and Gayle Powell, Co-Founders
The title of Founder is held only by those who have the vision and ability to formulate an idea and in turn create a company that becomes a business success. Dick has successfully accomplished this task with Kyani and in past business ventures. Starting with an idea, he and his wife created and built a thriving national franchise chain. Mastering the principle of duplication, he developed a system for others to own and operate their own business. As the owner and CEO of this multi-million dollar corporation, which encompassed much of the USA, Dick managed accounting, marketing and operations. With this extensive track record of leadership and business victories, Dick has used his skills to navigate a hidden natural treasure and turn them into Kyani’s core products.
Dick’s passion for nature and his integrity driven desire to establish free enterprise opportunities for others is the pure hearted vision used to take the "Miracle of Alaska" to the world. Dick is a 1967 graduate of Brigham Young University and has celebrated 37 years of joyful marriage with his wife Gayle. They have 4 children and 10 grandchildren.
Kirk Hansen, Chairman of the Board & Co-Founder
Kirk’s role as “Chairman” of the board is a key component to the over all Kyani strategic plan. The Board of Directors is a cohesive unit of members consisting of the founders and investors who provide a solid foundation of capital (Hundreds of millions in combined investor assets) and business success to back and support Kyani. Kirk has been immersed in business his entire life and has demonstrated strong leadership and vision. He personally played an integral role in taking his family business from humble beginnings to annual sales in excess of $300 million. Their business interest includes being the largest private petroleum distributor in 9 states as well as having large commercial holdings in real estate.
Because of Kirk’s experience combined with the partner investors, the Taylor Family, who own one of the largest agricultural and ranching operations in the state of Idaho, the board of directors looks to Kirk's rare determination and strong will to succeed as an assurance for Kyäni’s long-term growth and success.
