Jordan Johnson
Attorney
Jordan is a physically imposing human being, which stands in stark contrast to his drink orders. The fruitier and more tropical, the better. It’s a real elephant vs. mouse situation. Seeing the look on the waiter’s face when a 6’3’’-mountain-of-a-man orders a “Pink Princess Passion Punch, with sugar on the rim” is a real treat.
Jordan graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Law in 2019, passed the bar exam, and joined KSB after clerking for the firm as a law student. (how did Jordan graduate) He also holds a Bachelor of Arts in History and Criminal Justice from Mount Marty College (now “Mount Marty University,” apparently wanting to distance itself from what’s written on Jordan’s diploma).
Jordan is originally from Avon, South Dakota, bringing even more of that sweet SD influence into KSB. [(Karen’s) Editor’s Note: Aren’t they supposed to be building a wall to protect the rest of us from these South Dakotans?] He considers himself the only true millennial KSB attorney (Bobby’s a geriatric millennial), and according to Jordan, he never understood Y2K to be anything other than “a Playstation game.” What he lacks in knowledge of musical groups that existed prior to 1995, he makes up for when he steals Steve’s sports jacket and reenacts Chris Farley’s “fat guy in a little coat” routine.
Jordan has focused much of his work at KSB working on matters involving students (in particular under the IDEA, FERPA, Section 504, and the ADA) and staff (in particular under teacher tenure act statutes, FMLA, and the ADA.) He also loves getting into schools and working with educators directly on professional development.
Jordan is married to Kaylynn, and they have three children, Zemmry, Estrella, Khaleesi--names that are both really cool and prove definitively that he and Kaylynn are millennials. In his free time Jordan enjoys--beyond drinks that come with umbrellas--finding new food experiences, nerding out on school law issues (srsly), and waiting very impatiently for the release of The Winds of Winter by George R.R. Martin (jk, we all know that isn’t happening).

Fun Facts
• Jordan and Kaylynn were married on Jordan’s eighteenth birthday. (He had to lock her down before her prefrontal cortex fully developed.)
• While driving Bobby’s truck, Jordan was the instigator victim of a road rage incident that culminated in a milkshake being thrown through an open passenger window and onto Bobby’s dashboard.
• When clean shaven, Jordan is a dead ringer for Peter Griffin. It’s uncanny. In a related fun fact, Jordan always has facial hair.
• Jordan beat Shari in a nacho eating contest. There is no record of the results from his wing eating contest with Ashley [(Jordan’s Editor’s Note: it's safe to assume he put up an undocumented performance lost to the ages like Wilt’s 100 point game.]
