      • About Jordan

        Jordan’s passion for writing began early, 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 working in journalism, Jordan transitioned into content marketing, where he combines editorial insight with strategic thinking. In 2025, he founded Directional Content Services, LLC, a content marketing agency focused on helping mission-driven organizations tell their stories more effectively. He continues to pursue reporting as a freelance writer, contributing to outlets such as HISTORY.com, Smithsonian Magazine, National Geographic, USA TODAY, and a variety of blogs and websites.

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