Jon Cole is a visionary through and through. Hand him a problem and he’ll give you multiple ways of solving that problem.
After becoming highly involved with the volunteer rescue and relief efforts associated with Hurricane Harvey, he saw numerous issues that could have easily been alleviated by just having a better way of doing things.
Realizing that no one else was addressing those issues, Jon put his entire life on hold (including his successful business of 15 years) and began creating a new way for the world to come together and manage major disasters.
That vision soon blossomed into something that has the very real potential of creating a monumental amount of positive change in many other areas outside of major disasters.
