Hi, my name is Jon and I live in Denver, Colorado, USA. I'm a software developer and web designer who runs the company GeoFrameworks, which sells components for the Windows .NET development platform. I started on Wikipedia after the tornado which destroyed Greensburg, Kansas. As a storm chaser I saw it form near Protection, Kansas, and felt compelled to do something to help the town. I'm now actively involved in efforts to clean up debris. I am also helping to redesign the bigwell.org web site to have a modern look, and to accept donations for the town. I've also started an online petition and Google AdWords campaign to raise awareness about the need to rebuild the local grocery store and encourage residents to rebuild instead of relocating. When I'm in Greensburg volunteering, I update my photo journal on Flickr.
