Experience
Jordan's career as a professional music and arts journalist began as a teenager writing for newspapers in Oxford, Massachusetts. Following his graduation from the Berklee College of Music, he continued to develop as a professional journalist and copywriter. Music proved to be a more interesting topic than industrial infrastructure manufacturing, so in 2018 he became a writer for ArtsATL, with regular features in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In 2026, he became a unit producer and on-air personality for The ATL Arts Collective Podcast. In addition to his writing work, he is an active music educator, composer, and bandleader in the greater Atlanta area.
