Prior to working with Solutions for Urban Agriculture, Jordan managed a variety of projects and programs for both the public and private sectors. As the urban agriculture projects and program officer for the Orange County Great Park, he took the lead on visioning, planning and implementing an impressive complement of cutting edge, community-based programs that continue to give back to the community to this day. While in law school Jordan learned how to strategically position land leases to mutually benefit short-term agricultural tenants and land owners – a skill that was first put to use during the course of repurposing former military runways and adjacent fields in the city of Irvine. Jordan and his family currently reside in Orange County.
