His Journey
Roots in Queens
Jordan is from South Nassau County, New York, and went to Christ the King High School in Queens. Basketball was his first love — he helped lead his team to a New York State Championship, earned First-Team All-League honors, and held 15 Division I basketball offers. He didn't even start playing football until his junior year, but two seasons later, he was being recruited at the highest level.
UConn & Milford Academy
Jordan committed to UConn for football, but since they oversigned players for available scholarships and he was new to the game, they sent him to Milford Academy — a prep powerhouse known for its toughness, and producing top NFL talent such as LeSean "shady" McCoy. It was a grind — players quit during the first week, even some coaches left because of the conditions — but Jordan stayed and finished strong. When UConn's staff got fired, he reopened his recruitment and received new offers from Rutgers, Temple, and Indiana. Rutgers offered him for both basketball and football, but the football coach said he couldn't do both. Indiana gave him that freedom — so he chose them.
The Big Ten Years
At Indiana University, Jordan became a two-sport athlete in the Big Ten, playing football under Head Coach Kevin Wilson and basketball under Coach Tom Crean. His freshman year (2014–15) was the only season he was fully healthy — he helped football reach the Pinstripe Bowl and basketball make the NCAA Tournament. That same year, Bill Belichick came to watch him practice both sports. Afterward, Patriots' head scout Michael Lombardi told him: 'Keep going. We'll come back for you.'
Injuries & Adversity
In 2015, Jordan suffered a concussion during football camp. He came back too soon — and took another during the Halloween bye week, ending his basketball season. Then, in the first football game of 2016, he suffered a broken leg and dislocated ankle that required a metal plate, multiple screws, two tight ropes, and 13 holes drilled into his leg. The pain was indescribable — and the recovery was brutal. He was left to rehab on his own, scootering across IU's massive campus just to reach class. His grades fell between Fall 2016–Spring 2017, and he eventually lost his scholarship due to his GPA dipping below a 2.0 (eventually earned it back). Around the same time, the IU football program fell into turmoil — Head Coach Kevin Wilson was forced to resign after the season for mistreating injured players, and Athletic Director Fred Glass later stepped down. Jordan experienced that culture firsthand. When he got hurt, he went from being a key part of the offense to being forgotten.
The Rebuild
In 2017–18, Jordan transferred to IU East in Richmond, Indiana, determined to rebuild both academically and personally. He earned straight A's and earned his scholarship back, regained his eligibility, and graduated from Indiana in December 2018. That fall, he balanced two things — playing football at Friends University (NAIA, Kansas) while finishing his final IU class online. He wanted to play basketball there too, but the coach wouldn't let him — which turned out to be a blessing. It allowed him to focus on training for Pro Day and recovering properly. He dealt with a misdiagnosed knee issue (just fluid buildup) and was invited to the FCS National Bowl, where the New York Jets showed interest — but he strained his hamstring during one-on-one drills and couldn't play.
Surgery & Recovery
Jordan returned to IU to train for Pro Day 2019, still fighting through chronic ankle pain. IU trainers told him it was 'normal,' until his dad pushed for an independent X-ray — which revealed massive bone spurs that had been restricting him for years. He underwent a second surgery to remove them. Even now, his ankle has limited range of motion — when he stands, he can barely lift his foot off the ground. Yet somehow, he can still dunk between his legs and throw down windmills on a nightly basis with no off days — something people with uninjured legs can't pull off. That pain built the foundation for everything that came next.
Rehab, Skateboarding & Discovery
While rehabbing, Jordan turned to skateboarding as therapy — pushing up hills, regaining strength, and learning balance again. That process changed him. It taught him that all power comes from within. It also sparked an idea: a brand built around motion, community, and lifestyle. That's when he came up with Abiance — inspired by his recovery and designed to connect people through movement, skating, biking, and travel. That idea became his motivation to pursue technology — to earn a Master's in Computer Science, and to build Abiance himself, or at least lead it the right way.
NYIT & Reinvention
Jordan's good friend Evan Conti became head coach at New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), and Jordan joined the basketball team while working toward his master's degree. He enrolled part-time in Fall 2019 and full-time in Spring 2020, helping NYIT reach the playoffs for the first time in five years, even while still playing through pain. He petitioned for another year of eligibility and won — but then COVID hit, and NYIT cancelled all sports. Most players left, but Jordan stayed. He'd fought too hard to walk away. Despite coming from no tech background, he graduated with a 3.0 GPA, earning a Master's degree in Computer Science in 2023.
Pro Career & Global Journey
In Fall 2021, Jordan attended a G League tryout with the Long Island Nets, then played professionally in Israel that December. On February 1, 2022, he joined the Washington Generals, touring the world against the Harlem Globetrotters. Since then, he's played over 100 games a year, city to city, sometimes twice a day, across 23+ countries (soon 27). In Summer 2023, he played professionally in Cabo, before returning to the Generals to continue touring.
Beyond the Court
Off the court, Jordan is an actor (SAG-AFTRA), model, and DJ (ZeroFuxhs). He appeared as a stunt actor in Apple TV+'s Your Friends and Neighbors, and has walked in New York and Milan Fashion Weeks.
The Vision
Now, Jordan is building Abiance — the idea that came to him during rehab — a lifestyle and technology platform inspired by movement, creativity, and resilience. Years later, he co-founded Gap Remedy with Ja'von Hankins, his classmate at Indiana and fellow New Yorker. Together, they fill the gaps — creating custom websites, personal dashboards, digital ecosystems, and security-focused solutions for clients and creators across industries. From Queens to the Big Ten, from surgeries and setbacks to global tours and tech startups — Jordan's story isn't about luck. It's about resilience, reinvention, and refusing to quit.
"Every setback was just resistance training for the mind. Every pivot — a rep in reinvention."
