Bio

Jordan was born in Los Angeles, California, where he developed a passion for soccer playing club throughout his youth before later moving to Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2003, he relocated to Washington State and continued his playing career at Kennewick High School, earning a place on Junior Varsity as a freshman and Varsity as a sophomore.

After a knee injury during his senior year shifted his path, Jordan found his true calling in coaching- bringing the same passion and competitive drive to developing players from the sidelines.

Jordan began his coaching career in 2009 at his alma mater, Kennewick High School. From 2011 to 2015, he served as the Boys’ Varsity Assistant Coach, helping lead the program to multiple League and Regional titles and the first state playoff victory in school history. During that span, the team qualified for the state playoffs every year and earned a top-four ranking in Washington State- a reflection of both the program’s growth and Jordan’s commitment to player development.

From 2016 to 2020, Jordan continued building successful programs at Southridge High School, guiding the team to the playoffs in his first season and advancing to the second round of the state tournament in his second. He also served as an Assistant Coach at Columbia Basin College (2016–2017), helping the program reach the Final Four in his second year.

In 2022, Jordan returned to youth coaching with the Greater Youth Sports Association (GYSA), a non-profit organization serving elementary students in lower-income communities. There, he focused on providing positive, structured, and meaningful soccer experiences for young players, reinforcing his belief that the game is a powerful tool for mentorship and growth.

Jordan joined FC Westlake in 2025. He brings a competitive background, high standards, and a player-first approach to every session. His focus is on building confident, disciplined players who understand the game, compete the right way, and continue to grow both on and off the field.

Fun Fact: Jordan played in two semi-professional matches, one indoor and one outdoor, before deciding to fully dedicate himself to coaching.
