- He worked as an assistant district attorney in Philadelphia before joining the FBI in 1980. While assigned to the Boston field division, Jordan was in charge of the longest running police corruption investigation in the FBI, resulting in almost 40 subjects being convicted, half of them police officers.
- Earned a master's degree in public administration from Fairleigh Dickinson University and a law degree from the New England School of Law.
- After being disciplined by the FBI Director, Jordan was re-assigned in 2003 as the Special Agent in charge of the FBI's Portland, Oregon, division.
- Head of the FBI's Information Sharing Task Force before being sent to Portland.
- While Jordan was Assistant Director of the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility, Senator Chuck Grassley brought a complaint against Jordan in a letter of February 24, 2003, to FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III, stating that the Justice Department Inspector General was investigating allegations that Jordan retaliated against Unit Chief John Roberts after Roberts appeared on 60 Minutes (1968) and made critical statements about the FBI. Jordan was also accused of behaving with double standards in discipline and with showing arrogance and a punitive attitude. Ironically, Jordan had been appointed AD of the OPR (August 19, 2002) by Mueller himself, who at that time said, "Mr. Jordan's strengths, both as an investigator and as an administrator, will bring valued experience to an office that insures the integrity of the FBI." Jordan was disciplined by Mueller for failing to promote Roberts. Mueller sent Jordan a letter of rebuke, rejected a pay bonus, and ordered him to receive counseling as well as training on the appropriate response to whistle-blowers.
