He currently lives with his wife and two sons in Redmond and works as an air ambulance pilot for Metro Aviation in Bend.



Jordon grew up on a dairy farm in Monitor, Oregon, just nine miles south of Aurora State Airport. After high school, he enlisted in the United States Navy and served for six years as a Naval Aircrewman. Following his enlistment, he attended Central Oregon Community College and Leading Edge Aviation in Bend.
