Summary
Rob Jones is a retired Marine Corps Sergeant, Paralympic Bronze Medalist, and world-class endurance athlete. After losing both legs above the knee to an IED while serving as a combat engineer in Afghanistan, Rob dedicated his life to proving that a traumatic injury does not define a person's potential. He is best known for his "31 Marathons in 31 Days" challenge and for being the first double above-knee amputee to cycle across the United States. Today, he is a leadership instructor with Echelon Front, helping others develop a mindset of resilience and extreme ownership.
