Biography:
C.L. Jones is no stranger to adversity, but the idea of giving up on his dreams has always been completely foreign to this Connecticut native. Born to teenaged parents in Stamford, Jones grew up in undoubtedly one of the city's worst housing projects. Despite his troubled environment he always knew he was destined for so much more.

From a very young age C.L. had an entrepreneurial spirit, but without the guidance of positive role models to hone his skills, he turned to the fast paced world of drug dealing. Although he was very successful, Jones soon realized that the drug business would either lead him to a life behind prison walls or any early grave. Growing tired of losing his friends and family to drugs and crime, C.L. made the decision to change his life and enrolled in the United States Marine Corps.

While in the Marines, Jones refined his leadership skills and became more determined than ever to become a successful businessman. After an honorable discharge from the Marines, C.L. tried his hand in several different fields, but did not achieve the satisfaction he was seeking until he encountered real estate. Jones left a lucrative sales career in the corporate world to start his own real estate investment firm. Within the first eleven months of investing he quickly amassed over two million dollars in real estate and never looked back.

In just three short years C.L. Jones has established himself and his company, Pieces of a Dream, LLC, as a beacon of change in the community. His resume includes a stint on radio, as well as seminars and classes dedicated to educating the public on the power of investing in real estate. Jones company was built on the premise that life is like a puzzle in which each person is an integral piece of the big picture. With a book in the works and several other promising ventures, C.L. Jones is committed to sharing his piece with the world.
