BrainsonFire's profile Spike Jones / Member since October 2007 / Last seen 1 year ago
Spike Jones was born inside a the belly of a volcanic lair in the Ukraine on the banks of the Sea of Azov. Left to survive on his own, he was soon adopted and raised by a pack of opposable-thumbed boweevels. When he was strong enough to learn the truth, he made his way to his true homeland, Texas, where they brainwash you at an early age to take pride in who you are and where you're from. After graduating from the “I can’t dance” Baylor University with degrees in Environmental Studies and Journalism (read: tree-hugging writer), he bounced around the country (Colorado, Missouri, back to Texas, Atlanta) and finally landed in the always-friendly Southeast at a place they call the Brains on Fire. He began his career here as a storyteller, whittling compelling stories for our clients. Brands he’s helped strengthen include BMW, Rawlings Sporting Goods, Dagger Kayaks, Don Pablo’s Mexican Restaurants, Fiskars Brands, Yakima, Perception Kayaks and Rage Against the Haze (South Carolina’s youth-led anti-tobacco movement). And while he still enjoys storytelling, his Zen-like purpose now is to embrace the kindred spirits that approach Brains on Fire looking for help. In other words, he's the Firestarter. When he's not around his favorite people in the world (his fellow Brains on Fire-mates and boweevels), you can find him out for a run flanked by his 100 lb. Chocolate lab, the all-too appropriately named “Mud.” Spike also speaks nationally at gigs ranging from the Madison Ad Federation to the National Society of Collegiate Scholars to the Direct Selling Association.
