There are moments in life that change everything.

Losing our son Jordan is a pain we carry every day. It is something no parent is ever prepared for, and no words can fully explain. But in the middle of that pain, we made a decision.

We would not allow Jordan’s life to be remembered only for how it ended. We would make sure it is remembered for how he lived, what he stood for, and the way he showed up for others.

Jordan was raised with values that matter. Respect. Work ethic. Loyalty. The kind of principles you carry with you no matter where life takes you. He believed in people. He believed in doing things the right way. And he believed in lifting others up along the way.

That is the legacy we are committed to carrying forward.

This foundation was not created out of obligation. It was created out of love.

We come from a city that understands resilience. A city that knows how to stand back up, no matter what it faces. That same spirit lives in this work.

Through scholarships, mentorship, and community efforts, we are creating opportunities for young people to grow, to lead, and to build something meaningful for themselves. In doing so, Jordan’s name continues to live on, not just in memory, but in action.

We cannot change what happened. But we can change what happens next.
