Jon Menaster is a financial markets analyst at the GAO, a federal government agency. Read more about Jon's professional background on LinkedIn.

He also maintains a blog about Washington DC called In The Distract, writes short bits of happiness at Twitter, sells photos (including the one you're looking at) on SmugMug, keeps track of all things book related on Good Reads, tries to make the world a better place at OpenIDEO, and backs awesome projects on Kickstarter.

An angeleno at birth (Silverlake), Jon has traveled to ten countries on three continents. He currently lives in Logan Circle in Washington, DC, a place which, weather permitting, is slowly feeling more like home.
