Background Data: Ever since getting his first computer at age 12, Jordan was hooked. He started working on them professionally while still in high school, as an intern at Hershey School District.

Trademark: Jordan’s favorite part of his career is fixing things that have long been broken and making IT environments run like new.
A Hershey native, Jordan got his start repairing computers in his basement in Elizabethtown. He officially incorporated Aegis IT Services in 2016 to simplify hiring, and has managed the company ever since, steering it from a one-person startup to one of the most well-loved IT operations in the Harrisburg region. Outside of work, Jordan collects hardcover books, rounding out bookcases with his favorite series. He treasures time with his wife and his family. His two little children are the lights of his life, and he loves seeing how new and beautiful the world is through their eyes.

If he’s not at his desk, he’s probably out exploring the outdoors or perfecting a recipe. He also enjoys 3D printing, studying game design, and collecting vintage technology.

A partner with Aegis since 2021, Ona was initially hired to work on systems integrations, but her duties soon expanded to include grant writing, market research, and managing written communications for Aegis (hello, dear reader!).
