Inside Consumer United :: Wesley Jordan

Since joining the group in August of 2010, Wesley Jordan has contributed to Consumer United’s ongoing growth and helped hundreds of people save money on insurance products. Jordan approaches his position as a Consumer Advocate with a philosophy that has served both the company and consumers well. "The more you know, the more tools you have to help someone," Jordan replies when asked how he’s been successful in saving clients money.

In addition to his depth of insurance knowledge, Jordan’s warm sense of humor and helpful nature have made him a fun and valued addition to the New Jersey Auto team.

Born in Nashua, New Hampshire, Jordan attended Colby-Sawyer College where he earned a B.S. in Business Administration and Sports Management. While waiting patiently for a front-office job with the Celtics, he enjoys sports both as an avid fan and participant. If he’s not following New England teams, he's taking advantage of New England weather and can be found playing snow football in the winter and on the basketball court in the summer. Jordan also volunteers with a youth soccer league in nearby Hudson, NH where his belief in the benefits of sharing what you know clearly extends beyond the office.

As a recent college graduate with school loans who entered a weak economy, Jordan is driven for the need to save, both in putting money aside and using it wisely. He notes the importance of being disciplined, but also self aware and reasonable. “I put a percentage of my check away each pay period in a separate savings account that I made not so accessible,” he says, adding with a confessing grin.

After accounting for bills and some permanent savings, Jordan allows for the occasional indulgence. This time of year? “A Celtics game.”
