Additionally, he has previously hosted FOX Nation Outdoors on the network’s digital streaming service FOX Nation, as well as FOX News Audio’s Proud American podcast. Enduring two combat deployments and eight years of active service in the Marine Corps, Staff Sergeant Jones suffered a life-changing injury while deployed in Afghanistan as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD/Bomb) technician. The 2010 IED-related incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs above the knee and severe damage to his right forearm and both wrists. Since his recovery, Jones has dedicated his work towards improving the lives of all veterans and their families.

Boot Campaign now serves the health and wellness of the veteran community through a pipeline of treatment resources. While recovering, Jones instituted a peer visit program at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Washington, D.C following his injuries. Notably, Jones went on to create a fellowship on Capitol Hill with the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, where his contributions resulted in direct policy changes within the Veterans Administration and Department of Defense. In 2012, President Barack Obama invited Jones to the White House to discuss challenges facing active duty and retired service members. Jones has also held discussions on the topic with former President George W. Bush, former Marine Corps Commandant James Amos, cabinet officials and congressional leaders. Raised in Dalton, Georgia, Jones enlisted in the Marine Corps after high school, where he was deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan. Following his 2012 discharge from Walter Reed, Jones attended Georgetown University and received his Bachelor of Arts degree.
