MEET JORDIE

SCHEDULE A CALL ON MY CALENDAR:

PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW

I grew up in the small town of Chappaqua, NY, about 30 miles north of New York City. After high school, I attended the University of Wisconsin and studied Advertising. I had a great time in Madison and loved meeting people from all over the Midwest, cheering on the Badgers, and eating my share of bratwurst! During  college summers, my buddy and I painted houses and I fell in love with the life of an entrepreneur. I was hooked and addicted to being my own boss.

After graduating, I moved back home and my brother and I started a venture with Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente’s family to bring youth baseball players to Puerto Rico for weeklong training camps. It was a blast and we even saw a handful of campers make it to the pros. We later ran a similar camp for the New York Rangers to bring youth hockey players from the U.S. to Canada. We launched a variety of other businesses during the years before I started 7 Eagle Group in 2014.

Supporting Veterans has been my true calling and passion. I only wish I started this much earlier in my career. In 1997 I made the best decision of my life and married my close childhood friend, Ellen. We now live in the college town of Amherst, Massachusetts, with our two amazing kids, Malina age 19, Eli age 13, and two crazy dogs . When I’m not working, I love doing anything with my family…especially, hiking, biking, and traveling.

PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW

I am a proud Marine Corps veteran who served four years with the Marine Corps Honor Guard. One of the most rewarding experiences during my service was participating in military honors for the family of a fallen service member, a deeply meaningful moment that reinforced my dedication to serving others. At 7Eagle Group, I’m able to continue my passion for helping people by connecting veterans and service members with career opportunities that align with their skills and aspirations. It’s incredibly fulfilling to support those who served by helping them find their dream jobs as a way to give back for their sacrifices. Originally from Burlington, Colorado, I’ve found a true home here in Oklahoma City. In my free time, I enjoy attending live sporting events and spending quality time with my family.

PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW

After nearly 28 years of wearing the Army uniform (yes, since the 90s!), I’m wrapping up my active-duty career as a Warrant Officer at Fort Meade, Maryland. I’ve spent most of my time lurking in the shadows of the Intelligence Community, focusing on Counterintelligence—which basically means I try to out-sneak the sneaky people. I’m retiring at the end of the year, which is both exciting and mildly terrifying because I’m still figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.

Academically, I earned a BS in Intelligence Studies from the University of Arizona and I’m just a few classes away from finishing my Master’s in Homeland Security Management at American Military University. I’m starting to think I just really like homework.

On the home front, I’m part of a dual-military family. My wife and I are both retiring at the same time (which should make for an interesting first Monday morning at home). We have two amazing kids, two opinionated dogs, and not nearly enough coffee to manage it all.

In my spare time, I’m usually outside landscaping like I’m auditioning for a yard makeover show, volunteering, coaching, traveling, or just enjoying good food and better company. I also firmly believe that life’s too short to take too seriously—unless we’re talking about grilling or college football.

Thanks for stopping by—and if you know what I should do next in life, feel free to let me know!
