Scott Miller, founder and COO of MyMojoBaby Inc. grew up in beautiful Santa Barbara , CA , where he currently resides. After working with the Santa Barbara Newspress and affiliates, he decided to become more actively involved in the online game industry. Scott founded Unknownplayer.com in 2000, as an online news site providing coverage for the gaming industry with a focus on investigative journalism. The site was archived in 2002 when Scott founded Dedicated Gamer Consulting (DGC), a marketing and public relations agency specializing in Internet, Website, and brand promotion. He worked within the marketing and PR side of online games until 2005, when he was hired to work for IGN as a Mod Manager. Scott left IGN in 2006 to pursue his idea for blending cell phone media content with immediate upload to the internet. His thinking was, if we can download music and upload text with our cell phones, why not upload pictures and video instantly, too? MyMojoBaby.com was formed – a mobile photo and video blogging service that allows subscribers to instantly share their photos and videos with friends and family. With Scott's interest in computers, technology, and online games, it is no wonder that his MyMojoBaby service combines fun with the latest online technologies, allowing it's users to take the next step in the digital age.

While at Q2, Jason filed 50 provisional patents and developed several prototype applications. From within Q2 Labs' growing patent pool, Jason identified a pattern surrounding a core concept—a personal mobile portal.

At GoWare, Jason oversees the engineering of the application, manages its development, and has successfully secured early funding.
