Deaf Man Wins "Technology Company of the Year" by Governor

Jason Curry, president of sComm, whose company won a very prestigious "Technology of the Year" award by the Governor of Missouri by beating out hundreds of other companies in the selection process.

2006 Governor’s Conference on Economic Development in St. Louis. The firm will be named Technology Company of the Year.

SComm was founded five years ago by Jason Curry, who is deaf, and his father, David Curry, who is not. The company developed a product called UbiDuo, a two screen, two-keyboard electronic communications device.

Jason Curry said he came up with the idea after a restaurant meeting with his father. He said the two had difficulty communicating with signs and reading lips in the restaurant.

“The Ubi has been more than three years in the making,” said Jason Curry. “This award is even more validation that the Ubi will change the lives of the more than 24 million Americans who are deaf or hard of hearing.”

Congratulations to Jason Curry and to his CEOs and staff for all the hard work that took 5 years to see that this fruition take place! People will definitely hear lots more about this UbiDuo communication device down the road.
