“I love balance, short cuts, and the geometry of creating those - - - when geometry meets art.”
Jordan is about creativity, warmth, tact and unbridled energy. Part of his POV has been developed by listening, being in a collaborative community at WINK, traveling nationally with KMS to train other stylists and being part of a positive environment.
He’s been in the business for almost 20 years and at WINK for 10
He is an asset to WINK and the community and is the founder of Humble Hairdressers, a non-profit with the goal of taking care of those in the community who need a little help in the form of a haircut, shave and helping hand. At WINK, he says “we help each other get better and succeed.” But he is a family guy - his boy Oliver and their pup, Lou. He's fueled by being outside, running around with family and enjoying a good, hoppy, craft beer.
