After graduating from Ball State University, Jordan left his home state of Indiana to earn a graduate degree in architecture at the University of Washington. He was fortunate to study abroad in Rome, travelling to over thirty European cities and reveling in the chance to experience the works of his favorite architect, Carlo Scarpa. These travels dramatically influenced his design sensibilities, cultivating his passion for well-designed public spaces and civic architecture. Outside of the office, Jordan enjoys exploring the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest with his wife and two dogs, listening to music, and reading non-fiction books.
