Jordan was born on 24 May 1986, in Washington, D.C. to parents Gary and Brenda. The child of two U.S. Soldiers, Jordan grew up with a more expanded worldview than many, moving six times during his childhood. Of note among these locations are Hawaii, Bavaria, and South Korea. Raised with two brothers on a Soldier’s pay, he was instilled with fiscal responsibility, a love of music, and a strong belief in philanthropy that focused on giving of one’s time, not simply money. This belief would become an ongoing theme, throughout his life. | Jordan was born on 24 May 1986, in Washington, D.C. to parents Gary and Brenda.
