Seer
Consider this my Cover Letter
Hi there! My name's Jordan. Nice to meet you. I see a future with Seer, here’s why.
What can I say, I like to monkey around.
I'm a Philadelphia native
I grew up right outside the city, splitting my childhood between Upper Darby, Wynnewood, and Cherry Hill. On a normal weekend you could find me taking the MFL or riding my bike into the city, camera slung on my side. When it was time to go off to college I didn’t stray far, attending The College of New Jersey before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania. Since graduating in December 2017, I’ve taught myself how to fix motorcycles, added a pup to the family, and have embarked on two massive road trips to reconnect with family, friends, and see the country. Right now I’m in the middle of one of those journeys, having clocked over 3,000 miles on my way to the West Coast and currently am enjoying beautiful British Columbia. But I do miss Philly, so why not give me a reason to come back?

I work hard and drive results (Click the logos!)
Along with these business centric roles, I have extensive experience aiding political offices and campaigns - including U.S. Senator Cory Booker, Congresswoman Bonnie-Watson Coleman, N.J. Assemblyman Reed Gusciora, and Philadelphia City Councilwoman Cindy Bass. In these offices, and under the academic tutelage of former P.A. Governor Ed Rendell, I've gained valuable insight into psychographic profiling and individually focused message targeting. I also run, manage, and promote for my own photography business (that's where this page is hosted if you hadn't noticed).
TLDR: built a brand from scratch, launched restaurant delivery service, acted as brand and social media strategist for multiple organizations. The list goes on here
In my spare time…
I spend as much time as I can either behind the wheel (car, motorcycle, or mountain bike) or behind the camera. In either case, I love exploring near and far. Everything I do is with an eye towards curiosity and adventure. In the summer of 2017, I volunteered in Nepal, learned how to drive a motorcycle, and traveled through Vietnam and Thailand. Now, I'm in the process of travelling the U.S. and unexpectedly a bit of Canada (East Coast ✔, South ✔, Mid-West ✔, West Coast 👀)
Whenever I have a moment, I explore and photograph places off the beaten track, either forgotten or ignored.
I straddle the line between carefully planning, and spontaneously jumping into adventures.
I care deeply about the people in my life. I consider relationships my strongest asset. I have a strong sense of justice.
I love interacting with people. I love listening. I love exploring in a new place and soaking up its ethos.
Here's just a sampling of my photos that expresses my love of adventure, people, and general zest for the unknown.
