Ever since he was a little boy, Jordan had developed an interest in creating stories for his toys, more so than focusing on his schoolwork. He decided to channel his focus and his time on creating stop-motion videos for these characters. In this TEDxYouth talk, Jordan shares how he leverages online tutorials and other free resources to construct his first and wildly popular stop-motion animation movie: "LEGO Thor".

When Jordan was a little boy, he enjoyed creating imaginative stories with his toys and doing voiceovers for these characters. In school, Jordan didn't do so well; he failed miserably and had problems catching up with his peers. Instead of spending more time on schoolwork, he instead turned to his toys and stop-motion animation. Jordan spend countless hours researching online tutorials on how to use LEGO blocks to construct various sets for his animation scenes. After 5,000 photo takes over a three month period, Jordan completed his first 3-minute "LEGO Thor" stop-action movie. This movie was released on YouTube in January 2014, and since then it has garnered mass media attention.

Jordan is currently a student studying Visual Communications. He continues to pursue his path of creative stop-motion animation.
