Jeroen is Internationally known as Frans, which is fitting because it is also his last name. He is one of the three Founders of the Vesuvius Group, LLC, and functions as a Virtual World Technology Specialist and Developer.

The Vesuvius Group is a Full Service Solution provider for companies and institutions who desire to develop a presence or experience in a virtual world, with expertise in the virtual world platform Second Life & OpenSim.

Jeroen is a creative spirit and futurist always looking forward to how innovative technology can be used and enhanced. This drives him to try his hand in many technologies, and his early adoption has resulted in a wide skill set in programing, 3D & web design, machinamatography, animation, etc. In short you can say he is a generalist or a Jack-of-all-trades.

His friends like to call him an International Metaverse Superstar, because he seems to be everywhere, and known widely in the Metaverse.
