Jordan Barr - Membership Growth Manager

Jordan is currently a Sr. Instructional Designer at T-Mobile in the Consumer Group Training Design, Experience and Operations organization. He has built training programs to support frontline leader onboarding and development, onboarding to support new roles that meet the growing needs of the business, and new in-store customer experiences.

He has a MA in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from Seattle Pacific University and passed the Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD) exam in 2020. When he is not creating engaging learning experiences, he is spending time with his wife and three kiddos, exploring the outdoors, reading a book, or feeding his nerd heart with the latest Marvel or Star Wars series.

Jonathan Vetter - Corporate Relations Coordinator

Now a full-time partner of Vetter Solutions since 2021, Jonathan is involved with all aspects of his e-Learning business: He works with clients to plan the macro-design and script content. He leverages ten years’ experience in e-Learning to scout and then coach new, talented team members on the company’s process, and to oversee development. He also spends time in marketing and outreach.

From a young age, Jonathan’s dedication to music shaped his hard work ethic and natural attention to detail; and he went on to attain Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Cello Performance. But he feels music aided him more in being able to step back and see the big picture—and perhaps most of all, to be able to work through difficulties, in partnership with opinionated, sometimes obstinate collaborators, to create masterful, cohesive, and moving performances. Jonathan speaks fluent German, conversational Mandarin, and has lived, studied, and worked abroad for a total of five years. Being highly adaptable, he strives to honor the best (or most propitious) elements of the cultures he absorbs—applying them to improve his work and positively influence others.

When not designing engaging e-Learning, you’ll find him with his wife and daughter in the garden, working on home projects, or enjoying the amazing Puget Sound ecosystem.
