Close Up Radio Spotlights Mental Illness Advocate Maurice J. Jordan

Los Angeles, CA – Maurice J. Jordan is an aspiring speaker who seeks to educate others about mental illness, especially dementia. “I want to use my skills and abilities to bring to the forefront, by being a speaker, to talk about mental illness and to bring more awareness,” corroborates Maurice.

The inspiration for this career direction came about due to his wife Tessie, who has dementia, and has been suffering from it for seven years. As a full-time caregiver, he is most proud that he can take care of his wife.

Maurice started noticing early signs of dementia in his wife back in 2017. She was officially diagnosed a year later. Maurice was determined to mitigate the effects of her dementia by keeping her mind and body active.

With his current experience, amazing backstory, along with a seventeen-year membership, and having made hundreds of speeches as a Toastmaster, he is the ideal candidate to discuss mental illness and dementia – in an informative, yet entertaining way.

Currently, Maurice is employed as a residential real estate property manager with SNT Properties. Most notable is his employment at Hillcrest Country Club where he was a chef, as his first career, and where they met. He also wrote the prolific song titled A Song for Eddie, in honor of his best friend when growing up.
