About Mike »

Born and raised just 30 minutes from Daytona Beach, Florida, MikeJones has always been a sports fanatic. While he's only played one actual "regular sport" (lacrosse from 7th grade all through high school and now in post-high school leagues), he has always been on the forefront of the motocross scene, racing since he was 6. Having previously written many editorials and select articles for the former ESPN sponsored program "MotoWorld," he is still looking to make some impact in sports journalism, except now for mainstream sports.

Currently, MikeJones is working on graduating from Stetson University with two majors: Mathematics and Biology, with a potential minor in English. After graduating, he plans to at some point attend graduate school, but is looking to possibly spend a year or two working in the motocross industry, possibly as a journalist or in marketing for an aftermarket company.
