Work Experience
Engagement Manager, LexisNexis Technology (2002-Present) Currently, I am managing internal and external customer relationships for services provided by LexisNexis Data Center and Network Services.
Vision Consultant, LexisNexis Developement (2001) I
worked with a team of former product managers to create a comprehensive product vision for the development of LexisNexis products.
Product Manager, lexis.com (1997-2001) As the original
product manager, I led a core team which established the vision of what
lexis.com should be and over time helped shape every feature in the site:
from sign-on to delivery and everything in between. Lexis.com was responsible for increasing law student preference (the primary indicator of future revenue from the legal market) from a low of 10% prior to the introduction of the site to a high of 54% in 2000.
Project Manager, LexisNexis Legal Practice Systems
(1995-1997) At Jurisoft and later at LexisNexis headquarters in
Dayton, I managed my former law professors in the development of legal
practice systems, which take legal professionals through a series of questions and then create various legal documents, similar to what TurboTax does for taxpayers.
Sole Proprietor, Legal Automation Systems
(1992-1995) During the 3 years after law school, I hired myself out
to build legal practice systems and provide training for law firms, legal publishers and software companies. Clients included Holland and Hart, Matthew Bender and Ford Motor Credit.
Early Work History (1978-1994) Farm laborer,
heavy equipment operator, plumber, bus driver, disc jockey, and
cowboy.
Education
J.D., J.
Reuben Clark Law School (1992). B.A., Political Science, Arizona State University (1989).
Community Service
Having earned the rank of Eagle Scout
as a youth, I have volunteered my time with local BSA troops over the
years and am currently the scout committee chairman of Troop 498 in
Springboro, Ohio. From 1984-1986 I served as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints in Osaka, Japan and currently serve in the Young Men's
Organization in the local Springboro Ward of the church. |
Praise for the Product Manager |
"...in the upper echelon of product
managers. He really thinks through his ideas and articulates
them well. He is always open to our comments and issues. He is
a true advocate for the customer and a champion of the
product. He is top notch in my book." Don Buckley,
Consulting Software Engineer
"...one of the few product managers, in my
estimation, whose vision is sufficiently broad to see across
individual projects toward a greater whole. I think that is a
testament to his intellectual courage and creativity. He also
stands out in my mind as a significant forward-thinker --
someone who seems able to tell which way the industry winds
are blowing and how we ought to leverage those trends to
improve our service to customers." Don Steiner, Senior
Architect
"His excitement and energy are contagious.
He always brings excellent, challenging ideas to the table,
but is willing to negotiate in order to get features to the
customer in a timely manner. You couldn't ask for a better
product manager!" Lisa Smith, Senior
Software Engineer
"... a pleasure to work with. His vision
is surpassed only by his dedication and commitment to fulfill
it. He can command a group of people and lead them toward a
common goal. He is customer-focused, market-oriented and
desires to create and deliver the best products to meet
customer needs. He expertly balances technical skills with
business sense. He is respected by peers and superiors for his
product leadership." Kristi Weaver,
Director of Pricing
"His vision and dedication to excellence
is why Lexis.com has been such a success." Allan Huber, Senior
Director of Product Development
"... a dynamic visionary inspired by a
dedication to product excellence who has the strongest,
deepest, and broadest technical and architectural
understanding of Web-based research applications and
underlying infrastructure of any LexisNexis product manager.
Any information service products for which he is responsible
will be outstanding." Fred Zimmerman,
Program Manager
" Without the insight, dedication and in
depth understanding of our customers that Jordan brought to
the team, I have doubts that we would have been as successful
as we were. Jordan's contributions helped pave the way for the
Lexis.com we know today." David E. Glowacki,
EPD Sr. Director Flagship Web Development
"In his quest to provide the best user
interface design solutions for our customers, he combines both
excellent technical and communication skills along with a
passion and dedication level that exceeds many individuals
that I've worked with throughout my career." Mark Neumeier, Team
Lead, Consulting Human Factors Engineer | | |
