I am George Jones; Husband and father of 3 amazing boys. I had a wonderful career in the NFL and was even a candidate for the Heisman trophy. But there is more to my story. In fact, growing up in the projects in Greenville, SC without a father was not a foundation for success. Being immersed with gangs, drugs, and worse, the odds of success were stacked against me. It was only through the blessings of a neighbor who gave me the hope and courage to turn my life around. I'll share more about him in my upcoming book, "The Present Dad."
This website, the curriculum, and mission is about you... and how YOU are going to go through your life journey. If you are fortunate enough to become a father, my singular mission is to help you become the absolute best father imaginable. I'm not perfect, but it is my full-time job now and I take it so seriously, I am dedicating my life to helping others do a better job. To become "A Present Dad".
