Out in what I like to believe is “base reality,” I introduce myself as Jordan Petersen, because there’s a narrower risk that you’ll mistake me for the other Jordan Peterson. (Notice the spelling difference? Neither does anyone else.)

On the Internet, however, I go by J.E. Petersen, which is a tidy shortcut around the confusion.

But please, during any kind of genuine interaction, call me Jordan.

Here are three things about me (Jordan aka J.E. Petersen):

  1. I write a lot. My credentials are an MFA in screenwriting and twenty-five uninterrupted years of creative neurosis. Find my work on Dispatches from Inner Space & By the Books.

  2. I run an independent audio production company called Voltage. If you’re not already working with us, you should be asking yourself why. Because we’re amazing.

  3. I live and work in Los Angeles with the resplendent Karli Hall, and two transgressively charming kids.

You can also find me in these places:

  • Twitter, where I sometimes post things but usually don’t.

  • LinkedIn, where I go to feel professionally intimidated by literally everyone else.
