About Jordan

Same person, both sides.

I am an actor, producer, and sound and lighting designer, and I am the Director of Operations at a New York real estate marketing firm. Most people assume one of those is the hobby. Neither is.

I grew up performing and trained at NYU, where I paired a Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre with a second major in the Business of Entertainment, Media and Technology. I have been living in both halves of that degree since. On stage, the roles I love have a pulse under the polish: Burrs, Melchior, Claude, Bobby Strong. Behind it, I design sound and lights, program QLab and DMX, stage manage when a show needs it, and produce.

In 2018 I was a founding member of Rooftop Musical Society, an immersive company that started on a Brooklyn rooftop, and I have designed sound and lights for every mainstage show it has done. In 2025 I helped found Threshold Theatre Collective, where I am VP, Marketing and External Affairs. In 2026 we produced our first production and I wrote the software that let the practicals take a cue like real fixtures.

By day I run operations at Snaplistings and Powered by DMT, where I lead the Operations and Technology teams and build the systems the companies run on: a multi-tenant sales platform, an automated call center, a real-time P&L that earned a TITAN Business Award, and a strategic plan that earned another. When a tool the business needs does not exist, I build it. That habit is how a box office for a found-space theatre turned into Impresario.

The through-line is the same in both rooms: take something unclear, manual, and person-dependent, and make it visible, measurable, and mostly automatic. A cue stack and an operations plan are not as different as they look.
