Jones is originally from Bel Air, Maryland where he grew up with his father, Rick, a German teacher, his mother, Patti, and his sister, Amanda. Now he has a niece and a nephew, and they are both so cute he can hardly stand it. As a kid, Jones dreamed of becoming a professional tennis player and was a competitive USTA junior player. However, pragmatic minds prevailed and instead he entered the stable career of showbiz. He still plays and is always looking for a hit. He’s also an enormous tennis fan and will talk about it to anyone who will pretend to listen.
