Dave Jones has worn an incredible number of hats in his professional career and he dove into it all with Zach this week. His Air Force career spanned from the Gulf War through 2011, and his positions ranged from Criminal Investigator to Chief of the European Antiterrorism Specialty Team, and eventually things came full circle as he was helping train other antiterrorism-focused OSI agents to deploy into Iraq and Afghanistan. Following the end of his military career he went on to serve as a Wisconsin Chief of Police, volunteer firefighter, and Criminal Justice Program Chair at a local university before dipping his toe into writing. Today he’s drawing on all that experience to crank out his eight thriller novel, which span across three independent series. You can find his work on his website at https://www.davidelmondjones.com.
