Beginning with his family roots in Washington, D.C., Dr. Jones lays out a roadmap for using the pillars of education, sport, and, through it all, family to forge a successful career.Dr. Jones' success has been built upon relationships with many dynamic individuals. From his uncle's love of botany, to his cousin's instructions on navigating the college educational system, to the military, and later tutelage under world-famous martial arts instructor Jhoon Rhee, Dr. Jones gives a fascinating retelling of how his ready, listening ear and willingness to achieve under master mentorship have been crucial to his unique and stellar career.A master collaborator and self-starter, Dr. Jones has forged deep ties with divers all over the globe and been a magnet for once isolated minority divers to form strong, championship coalitions and teams.

    The Flowers Were Talking to Me
    Can brain damage lead to extraordinary art? Some of the most renown artists in the world were thought to be epileptic. For example, Michelangelo and Van Gogh. But now we are proving our suspicions through the research of worldwide organizations. Debbie Motsinger is one artist involved in that research. Debbie's crisis gave her the gift of artistic talent. But first she needed to win her battle with spinal meningitis, which lead to a seventeen-day coma, which resulted in epilepsy. Relearning to read, write, walk, and talk, she also discovered a newfound artistic talent. Today, Debbie's artwork is displayed on three continents. Read this inspirational story of a woman whose faith and determination overcame very unfavorable odds to, not only survive, but expand her life to include her creation of beautiful art. The art of most epileptics is stark, and foreboding, evocative of an epileptic seizure. Different from that art, Debbie's is uplifting, light and inspirational. She credits the support of her friends and family, medical practitioners and, most of all, her faith in God. She lives in her hometown of Herrin, Illinois. Beautiful samples of her work are included in this book.
