Jordy Simpson, I.T. Manager

Jordy Simpson started with Houston’s as the I.T. Manager in December 2017.

What exactly does Jordy do as the Information Technology Manager? “I am responsible for ensuring that my department makes all the technology play nicely” he explains. Although he has only been here a few months, when asked what he loves about working for Houston’s thus far he said “The people! You’ve all been great in welcoming me to the Houston’s family, and I’m enjoying working with everyone.”

Some of Jordy’s delicious cooking!

Outside of work Jordy loves to cook, “cooking is an active meditation for me, relaxing and enjoyable at the same time.” He focuses on anything plant based as Jordy is a vegan and loves trying new recipes. Board games and card games are a huge part of his life for just the fun of the game and because it allows for getting together with friends to play. He is currently a part of a large DND (Dungeons & Dragons) group as well as a “grab a random game from the shelf” group that meets on a regular basis.

“I love to read,” says Jordy, but admits that he can’t choose a favorite book, “since so many books have different great things about them it’s not fair to say I like one above all others. It’s like with fruit- sometimes you want a banana, sometimes you want a pineapple. They aren’t always interchangeable, but they’re both delicious!”

Jordy enjoys playing Dungeons & Dragons and other role playing games.

As for music- he prefers live music, but when asked about a favorite, again – banana vs. pineapple – it depends on his mood and he loves it all. He also loves the beach and hot weather, and the island of Saint Martin in the Caribbean is the perfect place to find both, “their beaches are made of pure white sand and crystal blue water with warm to hot temperatures.”
