Founders

Jordan and Vanessa Clark 

Jordan Clark is the founder of the Iron Sharp Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) Christian-based non-profit organization, which was established in 2021. Upon seeing the tremendous increased need across local communities, the vision for Iron Sharp was given to Jordan in order to pierce through some of the darkness afflicting local communities and being a vessel of love to serve in a way that leads to long term transformation. Iron Sharp desires to bring together churches, municipal governments, private sector organizations, public safety agencies, and other communities together to facilitate powerful heart-reach to communities in need and foster a culture of service and honor. 

Jordan has spent over 12 years in the non-profit industry with extensive experience in building and sustaining and long-lasting community partnerships with various sectors across the country. He formerly served as Vice President of Outreach & Engagement with the Mizel Institute, helping provide organizational oversight and spearheading the strategic outreach efforts across the institute’s two centers, the Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab (CELL) and Mizel Museum. Throughout his tenure, Jordan helped educate hundreds of thousands of community members through the institute’s educational and anti-terrorism training initiatives.  

As a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, Jordan has a passion for sharing and bringing the Gospel to diverse communities around the globe, advancing the Kingdom of God, providing discipleship opportunities, and seeing families and communities healed, set free, and transformed by the victorious love of Jesus. 

Together, he and his wife Vanessa are passionate about building family and community, sharing the love of Jesus and serving within and beyond their local church, enjoying the outdoors, delighting in the diverse flavors of the world, and partaking in spontaneous adventures.
