About 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 repaired his own smartphones, hosted home cloud servers, and revived old computers with Linux.


Prior to getting started at How-To Geek, Jordan published articles for MakeUseOf about Linux commands, 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.


These days you'll find Jordan hosting movie streaming simulcasts with his friends over Discord, building VR-ready gaming PCs, or reviewing the latest Wi-Fi routers.
