About

Spider is a highly popular motivational speaker who is much admired for his diligent work among the youth. His inspirational life story "Out of the Darkness" reveals his amazing rise from the impoverished, gang infested, inner-city projects of Detroit and Windsor and how, as a grade five dropout, he eventually returned to school at the age of thirty to become an honour student and is now a multi-award winning broadcaster.

Over the past 30 years, Spider has interviewed such notables as Muhammad Ali, Mark Wahlberg, former president Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, Mike Tyson, LL Cool J, Ron Howard, Tina Turner, Doug Gilmour, Cito Gaston, Oscar De La Hoya, Roy Jones, Kris Kristofferson, James Brown, Guy Lafleur, Smokey Robinson, Jim Brown and countless others. Among his other claims to fame was to act as a sparring partner for such boxing legends as George Chuvalo and former World Heavyweight Champion Jimmy Ellis. Spider was also a member of Muhammad Ali's training camp back in the days when 'The Greatest' fought Chuvalo.

Spider Jones is an energetic co-founder of the 'Believe To Achieve' Non Profit Organization, a youth outreach development and counseling charity. Many of proceeds from Spider's events go to the benefit of 'Believe To Achieve' kids.
