Michael Jones

Michael Jones' journey from a humble beginning on an animal farm to a world-traveled author is a tale of resilience and dedication. Born and raised in a very poor family, Michael's early life was deeply connected to nature, surrounded by a diverse array of farm animals including goats, chickens, rabbits, pigs, cows, turkeys, ducks, geese, doves, pigeons, peacocks, and dogs. His unique bond with animals extended to unusual pets like an alligator, squirrel, raccoon, and a deer, nurturing a deep sense of empathy and understanding of the natural world. At 18, Michael embarked on a transformative journey, joining the Marine Corps, which marked the beginning of his global adventures. His military service took him around the world three times, exposing him to various cultures and countries, broadening his perspective and understanding of the world. Amidst his extensive travels and duties, Michael pursued academic excellence, earning a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and System Management. His career in the Marines was diverse, including roles as a teacher, instructor, recruiter, human resources professional, and logistician. These roles honed his leadership skills and his ability to inspire and guide others. Michael's deep sense of social responsibility led him to humanitarian efforts. He built orphanages in foreign countries, delivered food to disaster victims, and fought wildfires across the United States, demonstrating his commitment to making a tangible difference in the world. Witnessing a lack of direction among the youth, Michael was inspired to pen books based on his extensive experience in shaping young men and women into leaders. His writings reflect the lessons learned from his own life's journey — from a simple farm life to a globe-trotting Marine and a compassionate humanitarian. Michael Jones' books are not just stories; they are blueprints for building character, resilience, and leadership in the face of life's myriad challenges.
