Jordan's Bio:
I am a 25 year old native of Denton, Texas and the only child of a single mom. I have lived in Nante, France; Oldebroek, Holland; Long Beach,
California; Colorado Springs, Colorado, and now I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. I began inline speedskating in 1990 at the age of 5, and
participated in my first international race in 1995. I made my first World Team in 2000, and turned professional the following year. In 2001, I
earned the title of most decorated junior of all time, and in 2003 I was the fastest man in the world, winning the Senior World Championships.
I left the sport of Inline with a total of 8 Junior and 6 Senior World Championship titles. I also competed on the Rollerblade, Inc. and Mogema
WIC (World Inline Cup) Professional teams from 2001-2004.
Since my birth
into the sport of Short Track Speedskating in 2004, I've been the only skater to compete in all of the past 5 World
Championships (2005-2009) for the US, making 2009 my 10th consecutive US World Championship including both Inline and Ice. I am the
first skater (still the only male) to ever qualify for both Inline and Short Track World Teams, and I did so in consecutive years. In the past 5
years, I've achieved numerous World titles, including 6 World Championship medals (2009 Men's Relay GOLD). In 2007 I earned 7th
overall at the ISU World Championships, and in 2008 I was ranked 5th in the 1500m, and 6th in the 1000m ISU World Cup Overall
classification. My unusual life has taken me around the world to over 154 different cities in 18 different countries on 4 different continents,
where I have been fortunate to learn so much about life. In the past two years I have also started my own business out of my garage. Under
the name FCR (Full Composite Racing), I manufacture carbon fiber racing equipment for 80% of the Short Track national Team, including all
four members of the 2009 Men's World Championship Relay team.
I spend my free time like most people my age. I go to movies, hang with my friends, have a few hobbies, and just like being lazy sometimes.
I also take my puppy Oly (short for Olympic) to the dog park almost every night. He's a one year old West Highland Terrier, and a breath of
fresh air several times a day. Also on my off days, I try to get in a few hours of paintball, another sport I've dabbled in since I was 13. It's
always a great way to get rid of some stress before Monday begins.
