About Me

Jordan Nelson

Embarking on a dynamic shift in career trajectory, Jordan Nelson has delved into the realm of web technologies, now specializing in full stack web development. Although this venture marks a departure from his previous career path, Jordan's flexibility, adaptability, and passion for learning remain consistent.

Prior to this, Jordan's name resonated deeply within the marching and pageantry arts communities. Starting in 2008, he wore multiple hats ‑ from educator and clinician to designer and adjudicator. His involvement with notable organizations like the Bluecoats of Canton, Ohio, Phantom Regiment of Rockford, Illinois, the Arizona Academy of the Performing Arts of Tempe, Arizona, and being on faculty with the Arizona State University Athletic Bands speaks volumes of his dedication to the arts and his passions.

Music and education might have been his initial calling, but the challenges of full stack web development now captivate Jordan's interest. Yet, irrespective of the domain, his passion for excellence remains unwavering.

Jordan currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona with his partner, Malia, and their two dogs, Rusty and Kolby.
