When I joined the USMC as a young man, I looked up to the likes of "Chesty" Puller and Dan Daly (Marine Corps heroes).
Today, I see my heroes every day in the members of my family. My kids are perfectly innocent and wise and I treasure their beautiful perspectives on all things vital and important. My sweet and beautiful wife is the perfect mother and our children are a tribute to her intrinsic goodness. |

About me:
Here's what my publisher has to say about me:
JAMES (JAY) SCHAEFER-JONES is Director of Night Vision Programs for a government subcontractor in Fairfield, N.J., where he supports a network of domestic and international representatives responsible for providing night vision and security products to military, federal, local law enforcement, and broadcast and media professionals. He is an active volunteer with his local Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). An engineer by training, he also served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Chief Communications and Electronics Technician at Camp LeJeune, N.C.; often tasked with writing Standard Operating Procedures and technical manuals. He earned formal commendations and individual medals for improvising unique life-saving solutions during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
About my book:
We are regularly bombarded with reports of disaster and tragedy in the daily news. Catastrophes like earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, violent crimes, and terrorism are so common and routine that many of us have become numb to the stories. Without a heightened awareness, focused concern, and effective planning, we have lost the edge that can save lives. Do you know what you should do to protect your family during a disaster? Does your neighbor have the knowledge required to survive a catastrophic event? Part of the solution is rooted in common sense, but much more depends upon effectively applying learned survival skills. Citizens need a helpful reference tool--a "Swiss army knife" for handling today's threats. Jay's book, "Preparing for the Worst: A Comprehensive Guide to Protecting Your Family from Terrorist Attacks, Natural Disasters, and Other Catastrophes" is that tool.
A former U.S. Marine and Desert Storm veteran, Schaefer-Jones has experienced calamity firsthand. He is also a concerned husband and the father of three young children. While considering how he would personally handle a disastrous event close to home, he came to realize that a comprehensive "how-to" guide was not available--until now.
"Preparing for the Worst" details best practices in antiterrorism tactics and preparing for disaster. This book is for typical conscientious families, college students, business travelers, corporate executive management personnel, emergency first responders, school students and administrators, and local government officials responsible for public safety and emergency management.
