Formerly a tattoo artist (he tattooed Jerry Cantrell of rock group Alice in Chains), he joined Valve (work since 1996 to 2003) from Apogee/3D Realms where he has been an artist, animator and conceptual artist for Duke Nukem 3D, Rise of the Triad or Shadow Warrior.

Jones designed several Half-Life NPCs, from the Snark to Gordon Freeman himself. He also worked on creature designs for Quiver, Half-Life’s predecessor.
