Firestarter™
Spike Jones was born in Dallas, Texas. Not that you should care, since Spike will never ask you where you’re from, either. After graduating from the “I can’t dance” cult of Baylor University with degrees in Environmental Studies and Journalism (read: tree-hugging hippie writer), he explored these United States and finally settled at a place they call the Brains on Fire back in the Year of the Golden Dragon (2000). Spike (Spike to his friends) began here as a storyteller and now handles new business rock-kicking over initiatives and contributes strategic input for companies including BMW, Rawlings Sporting Goods, Dagger Kayaks, Fiskars Brands, Yakima, Perception Kayaks, Best Buy and Rage Against the Haze (South Carolina’s youth-led anti-tobacco movement). Spike sits on the Board of Directors for the Word of Mouth Marketing Association (WOMMA) and preaches what Brains on Fire practices at speaking gigs, including various private events (Michelin, Biltmore Estates, Susan G. Komen Foundation), the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, the Public Relations Society of America and the Association of National Advertiser's Senior Think Tank Committee. Labeled “one to watch” from an anonymous answerer to our Net Promoter Survey, Spike is smart, good looking, athletic, persuasive and a rock star inside his own head. He also never passes up a chance to write his own bio.
