about mj2

I’m Mark Jones Jr.–thus, “mj2.”  My business card says “husband, father, statistical consultant and experimental test pilot.”

I’m the man behind the pilot mask.

I’d really like for you to read this whole page, but if you clicked on the pilot’s helmet to find out more about You Can Be a Test Pilot, then click here.

This page is about all the things that are important in life: Father, faith, and family.  If you never know anything else about me, I want you to know how passionate I am about these three things. I hope that the rest of my life is evidence that these are not just words on a page.
The simple fact is, life does not make sense without Christ at the center.  If you asked me why mc2 = Mathematical “Christian” Consulting, that’s what I would tell you.  When my family looks at me, I want them to see evidence of His Light in my life.

Someday, this life will end, and when it does, I will stand before my heavenly Father and give an account of the talents He has given me, whether that is mathematical ability, flight test experience, or relationships with others.  When I do, I want to show how I have multiplied what He has entrusted to me and served others by multiplying their talents, resources, and leadership.

Keeping up with my wife and I and our four kids-even keeping a current photo posted–is a full-time job–if you want to try, I do most of that kind of sharing on facebook.

My technical interests are more easily shared in 140 characters or less: @markjonesjr or @FlightTestFact.

You Can Be a Test Pilot is a book about how you can be a test pilot (or anything, for that matter). But it is also a guide for facing the unknown and knowing when to take risks. I wrote and dedicated the book to Blake, our oldest son.
