  • About Jordan

    Jordan’s passion for writing began at a young age, but it was through his work as a reporter and editor for his high school and college newspapers that he discovered a deeper love for investigative research and storytelling. Interviewing people with compelling stories and weaving their experiences into meaningful narratives quickly became more than a hobby—it launched his career.

    After a career in journalism, Jordan transitioned into content marketing, where he combines editorial insight with strategic thinking. Currently based in New York City, Jordan serves as Director of Content and Communications at MasteryPrep, a K-12 education company committed to expanding access to high-stakes test preparation for low-income students. He previously led marketing communications at ERB and has created content for organizations including Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Emeritus, and the Education vertical of U.S. News & World Report.

    As a freelance writer, Jordan focuses on topics including education, history, and marketing, having contributed to outlets such as The History Channel (HISTORY.com), Smithsonian Magazine, National Geographic, USA TODAY, and a variety of blogs and websites. In 2025, he founded Directional Content Services, LLC, a content marketing agency focused on helping mission-driven organizations more effectively tell their stories.

    If you're looking for a collaborator on writing, editing, or content strategy projects, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
