After years of honing his skills in amateur tournaments across the United States, Jones began to make a name for himself in the competitive pool scene.

In 1997, Jones secured his first major title by winning the BCA National 8-Ball Masters, having been the runner-up the previous year. He continued to build his resume with a victory at the BCA 9-Ball Open in 2008. Jones is married to Amy, and they currently reside in Dallas, Texas.

He is also set to appear in the upcoming billiard film "The Tale of Texas Pool," scheduled for release on December 25, 2024.

He also triumphed at the Houston Open in 2007 and the BCA Open Nine-Ball Championship in 2008.

In January 2018, Jones was inducted into the One Pocket Hall of Fame for his significant contributions to the game.
