*Meet Jordan at the Healthy Eating & Living Pavilion Stage
Jordan was overweight all of his life. By 13 he was over 290lb. When he was 14, his mom suddenly passed away. Food became his outlet to help cope. By late 2007 Jordan was over 421lbs.
March 30th 2008 he was in a car collision that could have killed him. The airbag was just reconnected in the car a couple hours before the crash and saved his life.
He vowed to turn his life around the next day, walking his dog 1 mile on a hill every day and changing his nutrition. Slowly but surely he upped the pace and distance of the walks, eventually they were running 4 miles per day.
Jordan went on to lose over 211lbs then started focusing on building muscle and getting stronger. Since then he has undergone skin removal surgery, thyroid cancer surgery, and many other obstacles. He has competed in powerlifting, ran several half marathons, and bodybuilding competitions, all things his former self would have never imagined.
Jordan believes that we are stronger than we know, we must never give up hope!
