Jordan began his junior tennis career by becoming #1 in the USA in under 12s and 14s. He won the prestigious USTA National Championships in Kalamazoo for 16s and placed 3rd in 18s. During that time he was accepted into the Nick Bollettieri Academy, now IMG Academy, in Florida where he lived and trained with some of the most prestigious names in tennis. He turned pro at seventeen, made it to the 2009 Junior Wimbledon singles final and over his eight years competing reached a career high ATP ranking of 449. He started feeling the itch for the arts and began training theatrically in St. Petersburg while still playing tennis. It required dedication and a competitive edge, and gave him the same thrill that he loved from tennis. In 2017, he moved to Atlanta to pursue a career in acting while still remaining active on the tennis scene working at Harp Performance Academy for 6+ years.
