Though no clinician has diagnosed it, Jordan has a tendency towards obsessive compulsion and an uncanny ability to count dropped toothpicks, if you catch our drift. He’s the first guy to let you know a thing or two about a thing or two, and if you don’t put on his Wapner, then bless your soul. We all have crosses to bear.
Jordan spent six years in the Navy as a nuclear operator aboard the USS Charlotte (SSN 766)where he shared a bed with 2 other men. Afterwards, he attended and graduated summa cum laude from the University of Texas at Austin in 2009. He weighed a whopping 150lbs.
During college, he competed as a road cyclist, including Nationals at Fort Collins in 2008. But that really doesn’t matter as road cycling is the golf of endurance sports.
He was a National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, but, you know, that whole thing’s a total racket, so he let it expire also but not because he disagreed with their capitalist structure but because he is the cheapeast coach at Atomic. He has certifications from Athlete’s Performance and is a Military Athlete (now Mountain Tactical) certified coach and spent 3 years coaching and designing training programs for U.S. military members the world over, many preparing for selections and/or assessments of every kind.
He has coached and instructed certifications for multiple Army and Air Force units. Additionally, he’s worked with multiple law enforcement units including DEA, U.S. Marshals, BORSTAR and BORTAC, and FBI.
Jordan has had the privilege to work with multiple world-class endurance athletes and sports, including coaching one to a U.S. National Ski Mountaineering Championship, and another to a podium. He has coached world champion alpine skiers, professional ultra-runners, top-level professional mountain guides (Exum, JHMG), high-level sport and trad climbers.
