I LOVE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

In my personal and professional life, I'm always looking for ways to help people live richer, fuller lives.

 

My secret weapons are creativity, humor, a sense of adventure, and a willingness to test new ideas.

Business Team Meeting
Jordan is the kind of guy that you want in your corner. He's done a lot, tried a lot, and worked in various industries, and is always gathering insight into how to do things better. Couple that with a humility and willingness to share his knowledge and experience, and you get a truly irreplaceable thought partner.

Designing Modern
Social Ecosystems

I live at the intersection of entrepreneurial innovation and deliberate social purpose, designing resilient business models that serve to create more than just profit.

With nearly 20 years of experience leading social enterprises, I champion a flexible approach to problem-solving.

 

From launching high-impact social ventures to designing forward-thinking networks, my mission is clear: to ensure that the enterprises of tomorrow are as compassionate as they are successful.

 

I believe true professional success is measured by the growth of the communities we inhabit and the people we help.
