Zac Jones - Driving home a strong safety message
Zac Jones was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1996 and is co-author of Why The Fallen?
Having been expelled from most schools he attended, he completed Year 10 before refusing to continue his studies. He worked several jobs and manage a small family business while battling alcohol and substance abuse.
In 2017, he crashed his car while under the influence of drugs and alcohol, seriously injuring himself and his four passengers. As a result, he wound up in jail, where he managed to turn his life around and overcome the underlying issues surrounding his drug and alcohol abuse.
Zac is an engaging and inspiring speaker who is now committed to preventing young men and women from making the same mistakes as him and helping them work through issues with substance addiction and crime.
Zac is passionate about music and plays the guitar. He sings, writes and composes songs and uses this creativity as a positive focus on the difficult days. He is living proof that making mistakes builds character and resilience.
Why The Fallen? is not the finished story of Zac’s life but is the first chapter in what is sure to be an exciting saga.
