A pioneer in the micro-computer field, Scott began avidly programming his home-built 8080 computer in 1976, and went on to found Huskey Engineering in the early 1980’s. As a sophomore in college, he created the animated strategy computer game “FLIP-OUT,” produced for the Apple II computer in 1983, and soon after created, developed and programmed “Shoot the Moon” – the first retail “True 3-D” full-color computer game for the Atari ST.   A 19-year veteran of Intel, Scott is the technical backbone of their team.

Renee, also a U of P graduate, spent the better part of the last two decades working as a freelance writer and raising their five daughters.  Currently, in addition to acting as Office Manager for their iPreserve franchise, Renee heads up the “Words & Web” department at Photoloom LLC, where she designs and maintains Photoloom’s website and its associated geneablog, Above the Trees as well as her personal blogs, The White Shield Project, and Sock Monkey.

“In the last few years,” says Renee, “Scott and I have traveled to family history conferences around the country with Family Photoloom, and we’ve talked to hundreds, maybe thousands, of people about their family history pictures.  We’ve learned that one of the biggest challenges folks face is getting their photos and documents digitized.”

Scott explains how they became interested in iPreserve. “When I met McKay Murdock [manager of the St. George iPreserve franchise] at the St. George Family History Expo last March, I knew almost instantly that iPreserve was the solution we had been looking for.   Within the month, we had made the decision to expand the scope of Photoloom LLC and signed the papers on the first iPreserve franchise in the Pacific Northwest.”

Scott and Renee are passionate about their work with iPreserve.  “We’ve always been in the business of preserving memories, and now we have a practical way to address that process from start to finish.  We knew going into this venture that it would be rewarding, and though our iPreserve franchise has only been up and running for a short while, it’s already clear that even we underestimated both the need and the rewards of such a service.”

Renee concludes, “These memories – these photos and slides and movies from bygone years – people want to see them again.  They want to remember that warm rush they got when they were kids.  Those moments under the Christmas tree…those birthday candles…those spinning cups at Disneyland.  They want to share those memories with the people they care about, and save them for future generations.  iPreserve allows them to do that – what better thing could we be doing?”

The reason? Look no further than what’s happening in millions of homes around the world, they say.
Just as businesses are building ever-larger databases and searching for new ways to manage the flood of information, consumers are storing all their music, photo and massive video files — and seeking better ways to organize it all.

They can do it because technological advances have enabled ever-greater amounts of information to be packed more densely into a given amount of disk space, at little extra cost to storage suppliers. That has increased capacity and made it far less expensive to keep big files.

“Ten years ago, a 1-gigabyte disk drive was a really great thing,” said Bob Schultz, senior vice president and manager of Hewlett-Packard Co.’s StorageWorks division. “Last Christmas, I bought a 1-gigabyte memory stick for my daughter’s camera. I suppose it cost $5,000 a decade ago for that disk drive, and I think the memory stick cost me $50.”
From home offices to corporate data centers, society is demanding ever-greater amounts of information, and easier ways to find it and back it up.

The data storage industry is seeing rising demand from several areas: Growth in mobile computing has increased reliance on centrally stored data that can be accessed remotely; natural disasters have persuaded corporate customers to back up data at multiple sites; and new data storage markets are emerging in places like Asia and Latin America.
