EXHIBIT 31.1

                                  CERTIFICATION

I, Jeffrey W. Flannery, certify the following:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly  report on Form 10-QSB of The Jackson Rivers
     Company;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     a material  fact or omit to state a  material  fact  necessary  to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements
     were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the  period  covered by this
     report;

3.   Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information  included  in  this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material
     respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash flows of
     The Jackson  Rivers  Company as of, and for, the periods  presented in this
     report;

4.   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining  disclosure  controls and
     procedures  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
     internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
     13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for The Jackson Rivers Company and I have done the
     following:

     a.   designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure   controls  and   procedures   to  be  designed   under  my
          supervision,  to ensure  that  material  information  relating  to The
          Jackson Rivers Company,  including its consolidated  subsidiaries,  is
          made known to us by others within those entities,  particularly during
          the period in which this report is being prepared;

     b.   designed such internal  control over  financial  reporting,  or caused
          such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under my
          supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
          of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
          external  purposes in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
          principles;

     c.   evaluated the effectiveness of The Jackson Rivers Company's disclosure
          controls and procedures  and presented in this report our  conclusions
          about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures,  as
          of the  end of the  period  covered  by  this  report  based  on  such
          evaluation; and

     d.   disclosed  in this report any change in The Jackson  Rivers  Company's
          internal  control over financial  reporting  that occurred  during The
          Jackson   Rivers   Company's  most  recent  fiscal  quarter  that  has
          materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, The
          Jackson Rivers Company's  internal  control over financial  reporting;
          and

5.   I have disclosed,  based on my most recent  evaluation of internal  control
     over financial reporting,  to The Jackson Rivers Company's auditors and the
     audit committee of The Jackson Rivers Company's board of directors:

     a.   All significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation  of internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which are
          reasonably  likely to adversely  affect The Jackson  Rivers  Company's
          ability   to  record,   process,   summarize   and  report   financial
          information; and

     b.   Any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant  role in The Jackson Rivers Company's
          internal control over financial reporting.
