With over two decades of experience in sports journalism, Jones has established himself as a respected voice across multiple sports disciplines, with particular expertise in poker, football, and basketball analysis.
Before joining Deuces Cracked, Jones built an impressive portfolio writing for top-tier publications in both the United States and Canada. His bylines have appeared in Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine, The Athletic, and The Globe and Mail, where his insightful analysis and compelling storytelling earned him industry recognition and a devoted readership.
Jones earned his Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, followed by a Master’s in Sports Management from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
