Board President

Jon's been a part of Cleveland GiveCamp since the beginning attending as a volunteer in 2010. A few events later, he eventually muscled his way into the organizing committee seeing an opportunity to improve how projects are planned in advance. Years later, he's still supporting what he views as a truly unique and amazing way to give back to his local community with his skills.

Outside of Cleveland GiveCamp, Jon is an independent consultant providing software development and project management services at his company Coffee and Code. He's organized, co-organized, and presented at many local tech user groups over the years and dabbles in conference talks when his ranting needs a more public outlet. He's been a sponsor and supporter of different area tech events and is a strong believer in actively supporting his local community.

Joe Brinkman is a seasoned technology leader with extensive experience in business leadership, product management, and software architecture. Currently serving as the Director of Consulting at Improving, Joe has demonstrated exceptional technical leadership throughout his career. He co-founded DNN Corp and played a pivotal role as Vice President of Technology, where he was a key architect and early leader of the DotNetNuke (DNN) project. Under his guidance, DNN quickly became one of the largest open-source projects in the Windows ecosystem and the leading Content Management System (CMS) on the Windows platform.

Joe's leadership at DNN Corp was instrumental in transforming the company from a small group of friends into a thriving organization with over 70 employees and a global customer base. He has authored several books on DNN and JQuery, written more than 300 blog posts, and frequently spoken at conferences across North America and Europe. With a career spanning almost 40 years, Joe continues to leverage the leadership skills he honed at the U.S. Naval Academy and as a young naval officer, mentoring the next generation of developers and technologists
