During his early years, Jones obtained an undergraduate degree in biology. Whilst he was working on a geology thesis, a friend from Carleton University working at the school radio station asked him to do a voice for an ad, which helped start Jones' career. His first work was in the special The Care Bears in the Land Without Feelings.{{Cite web|url=http://www.montrealmagazine.ca/MM/content/view/134/|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090815011423/http://www.montrealmagazine.ca/MM/content/view/134/|archive-date = 2009-08-15|title = Montréal Magazine | le Canada dans votre poche}}
