Jones Worthington is the pseudonym for Dragon Award Nominees Stu Jones and Gareth Worthington. The best of friends, they technically sit on opposite sides of the political aisle yet leverage their different worldviews to create vivid backdrops and unforgettable protagonists. 

Jones works in law enforcement, has served in patrol, narcotics, criminal investigations, and as a team leader of a multi-jurisdictional SWAT team. He is trained and qualified as a SWAT sniper, as well as in hostage rescue and high-risk entry tactics. Recently, Jones served for three years with a U.S. Marshal's Regional Fugitive Task Force--hunting the worst of the worst. 

Worthington holds a degree in marine biology, a PhD in Endocrinology, an executive MBA, is Board Certified in Medical Affairs, and currently works for the pharmaceutical industry. He is an authority in ancient history, has hand-tagged sharks in California, and trained in various martial arts, including Jeet Kune Do and Muay Thai at the EVOLVE MMA gym in Singapore. Born in England, Worthington has lived in Asia, Europe, the USA, and currently resides in Switzerland.
