A native La Jollan, Jordan Bowman is in the 8th grade at Muirlands Middle School where he is an honor roll student and the station manager for the school’s radio station, LJRadio, www.ljradio.com. Jordan has a passion for technology, people and for helping others. He is always willing to lend a hand and help out. He combines these interests with his love for entertainment, theater, tv and radio production, computers, sound and lighting and stage management. As station manager at LJRadio, he is responsible for maintaining the station and its equipment, and producing weekly shows on everything from news to politics to sports.

Jordan’s love for technology and the arts started many years ago when he taught himself to set up the sound system at Torrey Pines Elementary School for his school’s choir, plays, concerts and assemblies. Then starting in 3rd grade he joined the Young Actors Workshop as their first junior stage crew member. He then started taking on other roles with the local theater group handling sound and lighting, building a web site for the group and helping with the technical aspects of the production. He is now the Young Actors Workshops’ Head Technician and devotes six weeks every summer and time during the school year at local elementary schools such as Torrey Pines Elementary, La Jolla Elementary and All Hallows Academy for the groups’ shows. He has worked on the kids theater company’s production of the Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins, Charlotte’s Web and Peter Pan, to name a few.

In addition, Jordan has done sound and lighting for live performances by Flip Force San Diego, an elite-level acrobatic, tumbling, dance and cheerleading gym for kids and most recently, was hired with his friend, Luke Gulley, a freshman at La Jolla High, by Barona Casino to do sound and lighting for the East County Posse’s Masquerade Ball, a gala and benefit attended by 500 people. He has also been hired as a D.J. for a wedding reception and for birthday parties.

Jordan enjoys sports including tennis, soccer, swimming, surfing and snow skiing. He is currently studying and practicing at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu La Jolla several days a week. In addition, he and his dad build and launch rockets together and are involved in the local rocket club. Jordan has two sisters, Lauren, 18, who is a Freshman at Bucknell University and Devon, 16, a Junior at La Jolla High School, a mom, Karen and dad, John.
