Hi, I'm Jordan 👋

I'm a product builder and YC founder with 15+ years of experience shipping 0→1 products across SaaS, fintech, and marketplaces.

I've led product design and design teams at Finix, Waypoint, Esri, and BoardGameGeek. I was also the founding designer at a VC-backed startup that was later acquired. I'm a systems thinker who sweats the details and loves turning early ideas into real products.

I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee with my wife, two kids, and our mutt. I graduated from the University of Washington and was an Entrepreneur in Residence at a branding agency in New York.

Outside of work, I play inline hockey and enjoy film photography. I'm also an Eagle Scout and hold a black belt in Shito-Ryu karate.
