Born and raised in outback Queensland, J.D (Jet) Jones grew up working cattle on horseback. He did his first droving trip at eight years of age with sheep, and left school at fourteen to work as a ringer (cowboy) on cattle stations (ranches). At nineteen, he turned his hand to breaking in horses for large cattle stations across North Queensland and the Northern Territory. In 2001 and 2002, he lived in the USA working on ranches and training cutting horses. After returning to Australia, he worked breaking in and ringing. He also travelled to Norway to write songs for some country and rock bands. Later he worked in gold and coal mines, drove trucks and worked as a TA for builders, but always he returned to the bush. In 2009, he went to Canada and worked on ranches and as a packer in the Rockies around Banff, packing teams of up to 17 mules in a string. There he met his wife Kathleen, who returned to Australia with him. They now and live in outback Queensland with their three children.
