Hi, I’m Jordan!
I’m a director, photographer, creative director, sometimes professor, and founder of The Human Lens
Through my work in film and TV, I strive to bring stories to life and connect with audiences on a human level.
Commercially, I feel grateful to have helped clients like Shriners Hospital for Children, Disabled Veterans of America, Paralyzed Veterans of America, NAACP, Covenant House, and No Kid Hungry tell distinctly memorable stories that inspire action.
My work has been recognized by esteemed organizations such as The American Society of Cinematographers, The Emmys, The Telly Awards and film festivals across the globe including the Festival de Cannes and deadCenter Film Festival.
I’m also a U.S. Air Force Veteran having served for over 9 years. With three deployments in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Freedom Sentinel.
