Financial Advisor

Jordan got his career started in the brokerage industry interning at Scottrade Financial Services, while he earned his Bachelor’s degree from The University of Washington.  Upon graduation, he was promoted to a registered representative position.  His interest in new technology eventually led him to Precision Agriculture, where he worked to find new innovative technologies to add to his company’s portfolio of offerings.  This ultimately expanded beyond agriculture and drew him back into the financial-services field as a fee-only investment advisor.  Jordan seeks to help his clients achieve financial freedom through analysis, planning, and education.  In addition, he provides valuable insights into the opportunities of disruptive innovation technologies.  

Jordan has been married to his ambitious wife, Taylor, for 8 years and acts as executive board member and COO of the small start-up company that she leads.  He has two boys and enjoys running, biking, and riding his Triumph Motorcycles.
