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 turned from a hobby into a career.

As a freelance writer and journalist, Jordan specializes in history, true crime, and education, having contributed to outlets such as Smithsonian Magazine, The History Channel (HISTORY.com), National Geographic, USA TODAY, and a variety of blogs and websites. He was previously a reporter and editor for U.S. News & World Report, where he covered higher education. When not writing, Jordan is usually researching the next overlooked story worth telling.

As a content marketer, Jordan combines editorial insight with strategic thinking. Currently based in New York City, he serves as Director of Content and Communications at MasteryPrep, a K-12 EdTech company committed to expanding access to high-stakes test preparation for low-income students. He previously led marketing communications at ERB and edited the Shaped blog by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

In 2025, Jordan 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.
