Jordan Gloor Articles

Jordan Gloor

Jordan started writing technology guides in 2020, but his technology and writing experience extends far and wide. As a kid, he learned object scripting through the MS-DOS game engine ZZT, and he later taught himself the basics of Python programming. He's used all PC platforms, but he prefers Linux because of its ability to revive and restore older hardware.

Prior to getting started at How-To Geek, Jordan published articles for MakeUseOf about Linux, free and open-source software, and online privacy. Beyond technology, he's also professionally written on agriculture business for Ozarks Farm & Neighbor, edited proposals for non-profits, and presented at a writer's conference on superheroes and culture.

Jordan earned a bachelor of arts in English in 2016, and he's coached college students on writing effectively and utilizing education technology. He also wrote and edited product descriptions for an e-commerce store for four years.

In his free time, Jordan enjoys fiddling with a Raspberry Pi and trying sundry Linux distributions.
