Jordan Priebe – Men of Success 2024
Jordan Priebe – HexGlow Lighting
Amidst his role as a Physical Therapy Director in Leesburg and driven by his entrepreneurial spirit and a desire for change, Jordan Priebe ventured into the world of online business. Inspired by a conversation with his barber about LED lights, Jordan, in 2022, took the plunge into creating HexGlow Lighting, headquartered in Eustis.
Starting with a dollar trial on Shopify while still working full-time, Priebe quickly found success. Within six months, he transitioned to running his business full-time, witnessing exponential growth from selling just a few units a month to hundreds, turning HexGlow into a multimillion-dollar venture. What sets HexGlow apart is its modular LED system, offering customizable lighting solutions for various spaces, from garages to businesses throughout the country, including SpaceX.
Jordan’s commitment to creating value and building a trusted brand has been key to HexGlow’s success. He emphasizes a streamlined ordering process, responsive customer service, and engaging social media presence. Reflecting on his journey, Jordan finds pride in the recognition of his brand and the impact it has on customers’ spaces.
“Having someone come up to you and be like, ‘I follow you’ or ‘Your lights are amazing,’ is the best experience that money can’t buy,” Jordan says.
His favorite quote by Abraham Lincoln, “The best way to predict the future is to create it,” resonates deeply, guiding him through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
Jordan cherishes traveling and hanging out at local spots with friends and family, including his wife Lora, children Makenna and Kagan and their Doberman Pinscher puppy named Hennessy.
