Throughout the past five years, Jordan co-founded and co-contributed for a food and fitness blog called “Feast Mode”; started an Alzheimer’s Awareness group “They Forget, We Remember,” which gave him opportunities to serve as a Junior Board member for Northwestern’s Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease Center, as well as for The Youth Movement Against Alzheimer’s.
