Jones was born in Pittsburgh, PA, moved west to go to high school in Waukegan, IL, and went still farther west to attend college at Creighton University in Nebraska in 1989-1991.

As of 2011, Jones has been working with the State Department to show the finer points of baseball to youths from other countries.
