Ben McDougal, President and Co-Owner of Jet Set Studio, has been in the Internet Development Industry since receiving his Computer Science degree in 2004. After residing in California and considering a full-time career in video game development, Ben fell into the Internet and has enjoyed working at one of the largest firms in Des Moines, Iowa for 3 years.  He has had experience within hundreds of different business markets and works on the Sales/Conceptualization Team of Captain Jack Communications.  This position allows Jet Set Studio to directly offer website development for clients, with the confidence of working with an established, professional, and experienced website development firm.

As a successful entrepreneur (and while also working at CJC), Ben first developed a full scale, outdoor 3v3 soccer event that has been running since 2006 and has averaged over 80 teams.  With the recent growth of Jet Set Studio and needing to shift his focus on the video gaming and website development industry, Ben will be transitioning the ownership of this tournament event to a Des Moines area soccer club for 2008.  The Iowa 3v3 Soccer Challenge is a great example of this company’s ability to manage a very large event, while still focusing on the fundamental quality.  This is where the video game event management services of Jet Set Studio originated.

The company originated when two best friends, Ben McDougal and Andy Gaumer, had a concept to build an online community just for people who loved video games like them.  Working together as best friends and business partners, Ben and Andy worked to develop community connections, started to spread the word about GatheringofGamers.com, and oversee the company’s video game event management.  With Captain Jack Communications behind the development of this social network for video gamers, their involvement with the project and Jet Set Studio increased and today the two enjoy a very fluid relationship.  Along with Ben, Andy, and the staff at Captain Jack Communications, this company would not be where it is today without the dedication of family, friends, and the individuals who rose up through GatheringofGamers.com.

Today, Jet Set Studio represents the polished and driven passions of many individuals.  As a growing, but experienced company, the team that represents Jet Set Studio is excited to continue offering online advertising opportunities, web development connections, and our video game event management services.  They have the overwhelming confidence and experience to deliver a unique service to your company!
