Jordan Watts

Operations Manager

Jordan Watts is the Operations Manager of Meathead Movers’ Hayward branch, a role he earned through years of dedication and hard work within the company. A Fresno, CA native, Jordan studied Economics at San Francisco State University and played football during his academic career.
Jordan’s journey with Meathead Movers is a true testament to what it means to grow from within — starting as a Meathead and working his way up through the ranks as a Mentor, Crew Coordinator, and Assistant Operations Manager before stepping into his current leadership role. When the opportunity arose to open and lead the new Hayward branch, he jumped at the chance, drawn by the area’s vibrant culture, welcoming people, great weather, and its place at the heart of the tech world.
What keeps Jordan passionate about his work goes beyond logistics. He was deeply moved by Meathead Movers’ mission to help victims of domestic violence start fresh, and that sense of purpose continues to drive him every day. Now, he’s channeling his skills in leadership, innovation, and problem-solving toward one clear goal: making the Hayward branch the Bay Area’s top-rated moving company and the first choice for anyone on the move.
When he’s not building something great at work, you’ll find Jordan spending time with family and friends, traveling, or staying active at the gym.

Reviews From Santa Cruz Customers

Every move we make builds our reputation — and our Santa Cruz team has earned a reputation for reliability, respect, and results.

These men were all very sweet and diligent! I enjoyed the experience immensely

Beth Gillick Bay Area

If I could, I would give Meathead Movers 10 stars. They were phenomenal. My pack-and-move was a tricky/messy one and from start to finish they handled it with complete professionalism. Everyone I worked with inspired confidence and eased my mind and nervous system the entire way. Smooth, professional, and confidence-inspiring.
A special shoutout to my pacing and moving duo [Rapha and (I didn’t catch his name!)]. These two were absolute Tetris Masters who worked alllll day on my job with a superior attitude and care. And they fit everything in my storage space without an inch to spare! Literal Tetris Masters.
I would highly recommend Meathead Movers for any of your moving needs. Highly.

Brianna Martin Bay Area

Rafa and his team at Meathead Movers were amazing for our move across California. The communication to get a quote and set up the service was very easy. On our move day they arrived promptly on time and immediately set to work, helping wrap, package and disassemble furniture to keep everything protected. Loading and unloading on either end was quick and the team was friendly and polite throughout. Made everything very convenient.

Brian Gaul Bay Area

I needed things moved fast. They communicated quickly, thoroughly, and were there in two days …early. I can tell that there is an ethic (it’s on the sleeves of the shirts they wear) in how this company is both getting things moved and how young (mostly) men are invited to build their respect, ability to get things done, etc. It’s nice to interact with a company that gives in both directions.

Heather Hughes Bay Area

Meathead Movers was an invaluable partner in helping me move from my house in Oakland to my apartment in San Francisco.

They assigned me a planning manager, Rachel, who I was able to reach by text even while she was on vacation. She provided industrial strength cardboard boxes and packing supplies so I could pack ahead of time, then scheduled a day for the movers to come finish whatever I hadn’t gotten to.

They also assigned an on-site coordinator, Jordan, who stayed in touch and coordinated with me on both packing day and move day.

On packing day, Meathead sent eight people to pack. But my daughter and I had been so diligent that they only had to fill a few boxes, just the annoying stuff we hadn’t gotten to, and they charged a nominal amount for it.

On move day they were extremely professional and fast, and they had the right equipment to make sure none of the furniture was damaged. The whole process was quick, painless, and efficient.

I was not looking forward to moving, and Meathead Movers made the whole thing far less stressful than I expected. The cost was very reasonable, and I recommend them one hundred percent to anyone looking to move.
