Gary Whiting - Chairman of the Board


Gary Whiting is the founder of Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, Inc. In 2005, Mr. Whiting recognized the potential for an MMORPG that could be tapped by forming a strategic relationship with MGM and licensing the Stargate franchise. He arranged for the initial funding to establish the company and to recruit key industry talent to manage the operations of the business.

Mr. Whiting also serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of ItzYourMall, a loyalty-rewards discount card company with operations throughout the United States. Mr. Whiting founded this company in response to a need for a better product not only for himself but others in his field as well.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Whiting served as counsel to the Administrative Rules Review Committee. In this capacity, he found the need to do online research but found no cost effective way to do so. This circumstance inspired Mr. Whiting to start a company that provided law research tools on a CD-ROM that were affordable and user-friendly. This company, originally called MobileScan, turned into ItzYourMall, after Mr. Whiting saw the opportunity to offer a savings mall program to fellow lawyers and eventually all people across the U.S.

Mr. Whiting is an established entrepreneur with both legal and management expertise and has management experience with the Utah State Legislature and companies including Para Mas and many others. Mr. Whiting has a master’s degree in public administration from the BYU Law School.
