What makes Jordan unique is the life experience he can bring to a role. He was initially trained as a scientist and earned an undergraduate degree in biology/chemistry and master’s degree in public health. He is also a musician; he toured as the drummer of the rock n’ roll band Needle Points from 2013-2017. In addition to drums, he also plays guitar, bass, and can probably get by on some other instruments as well. He has been fortunate enough to travel the world having visited over 30 countries by the age of 30. He volunteered in Haiti on multiple occasions after the devastating earthquake in 2010 and also spent time working with less fortunate communities in Peru and The Philippines. In June 2017, having just graduated from The University of Pennsylvania and no longer in a band, Jordan decided to finally try his hand at acting and comedy, which had always interested him. He dove in fully in 2019 when he threw some clothes and a sleeping bag in the back of his Prius (you’re welcome) and made the drive from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles. Jordan now frequents open mics in the LA area to build his stand-up act. He was accepted into the Conservatory at Second City LA; the guy loves comedy. When not comedy-ing, he can be seen in Hollywood as a barista or working for remotely for a health department on Covid-19 related issues.
