Hi, my name is Jordan.  I grew up at the base of the Rocky Mountains in Pleasant Grove, UT.  I'm happily married to my beautiful wife Shauntae Michelle and the proudest girl-dad in the world to our three beautiful girls: Copeland, Holland and Rowan.  They are my world.  We started our company back in November of 2020 and it's been one of the best decisions our family has ever made.  Before taking the leap into starting Freedom, I worked on Wall Street as a financial advisor and stock broker.

What I enjoy most about what I do is:  I get to do life with people that level me up daily and truly make an impact.  Now I have time to be a present husband and father and prioritize my physical, mental and spiritual well-being.   I get to be my own boss, and as a family, we enjoy living a "Yes" life.  Shauntae and I are grateful for the freedoms we've been blessed with to create experiences with our girls and best friends whenever we want, and it gets better and better each year.

When I’m not working you can find me:

1) On a houseboat at Lake Powell with those I love.

2) Restoring classic American muscle cars.

I've watched my children become more driven and goal-oriented as they've watched me work this career.  They see that dedication and hard work pays off.  That trickle-down effect is priceless!  I love associating with like-minded individuals who propel me to greatness each day.
