Prior to his role at Tucker Energy Solutions, Mr. Jordan served as Senior Staff Accountant at Camin Cargo Control, a global petroleum & petrochemical assayer. Jesse overhauled the entire board reporting software package as the basis for a strong FP&A department. The reporting software did not deliver as promised, so after documenting the failure & helping the company recover ~$100K from the purchase, he created a dynamic package that reduced report production process time by a week.

The two oldest attend a classical Christian school in Beaumont, and all three daughters dance at a studio in the Beaumont area. When not volunteering at the girls’ school, the family enjoys taking trips to family land in the Texas hill country.
