Jamasen Rodriguez, a student at the Johns Hopkins University is a well-rounded and experienced entrepreneur. In 2009 he founded Teens Run Modesto which trains at-risk students to run the Modesto Marathon and in turn, build their confidence 1 mile at a time. The program has grown to help more than 400 at-risk students. Jamasen's motto is anything is possible if you don't quit, and to prove this, Jamasen broke the World Record for the fastest lunge mile in 2010.

Once Jamasen reached the Johns Hopkins campus in 2011, he instantly started Jama Cocoa with the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign and his 10+ years of prior dessert experience.
