PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW
I was born and raised in Colorado and joined the military at 18. I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps as a Infantry Mortarman, and was fortunate enough to be assigned to Special Operations Training Group T.R.A.P. team for two deployments. After leaving the military I spent time as a Police Officer, and worked as a security advisor for META. My biggest passion is helping other veterans pursue their goals, and hopefully being a small piece of their success. Outside of work my free time is consumed by hunting, and enjoying the great outdoors with my wife and two dogs.

PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW
I served five years as an Armor Officer in the US Army leaving the service with the rank of Captain. I recently retired from JPM in NYC as a Managing Director where I had worked for 28 1/2 years. I retired from the Investor Client Management group where I was the senior point of contact between the leadership of JPM and the C suite of my Asset Manager clients. Prior to that role, I spent 24 years on the Institutional Fixed Income Sales desk. Prior to JPM, I worked as a Financial Product Salesman in the Retail Market. At JPM I was extremely active in working with veterans and I was JPM’s Senior sponsor of their Direct Hire Program.
I have taught MBA Financial Markets classes at Columbia University and NYU as a guest lecturer and have served as a panelist at Columbia evaluating student presentations. I am the Class Treasurer of the West Point Class 1982 and currently serve as an Advisor on the Association of Graduates board. I have volunteered extensively both in teaching Financial Literacy to less-advantaged teenagers and to veterans and in speaking to active-duty military and veterans, offering Career Transition advice.
I received a BS with a concentration in Engineering Mechanics from the United States Military Academy and an MBA in Finance from Columbia University.
In my free time, my family is my main interest, I treasure time with my wife and kids. Years ago I worked as a Fitness Trainer, I enjoy my personal fitness regimen. I love Broadway. I speak Spanish and Mandarin Chinese both at the beginner level. I read FBI and Secret Service-type books, mixing in a Classic or business book from time to time. I am well-read in Sales books, motivational books. My favorite book is The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I am a passionate Army football fan.
I love 7 Eagle because we are so additive to everyone involved. We either pose the idea to companies to hire veterans or work with those that already do to tailor the vet hire process so that the company receives trained immediately additive hires. We assist the veteran in training them, in providing a mentor/support network of previously-transitioned vets for them to work with, and overall aid in their assimilation into civilian life as they leave the military. We not only thank them but we help them find the best situation for themselves and the hiring company, being there for them through the process.

PROFESSIONAL OVERVIEW
I am proud to have served in the US Navy as an Avionics technician. I have worked across two different aircraft, both large maritime patrol airframes. The P-3C Orion was built by Lockheed-Martin and the P-8A Poseidon was built by Boeing. I was part of the forward progression from the P-3C to the P-8. This included getting factory training on the assembly line for 737 aircraft. I was also part of the fleet transition team phasing in the P-8A. After my time in the Navy, I became a military contractor and worked for some of the largest aviation contract companies in the world. This was all done in the world’s largest active squadron with the world record for mishap-free flight hours. I carry over 15 years of experience in Aviation Maintenance and ground airfield operations. I was involved with several AS9100 certifications and re-certifications.
I grew up in Las Vegas NV but I now call North East Florida home. You can find me on my off time at the race track trying to chase that new lap record.

I was fortunate enough to see Scotland, Japan, Korea, and a good number of our beautiful 50 states. As an infantryman with a B-billet, I specialized in Advanced Structure Clearing Tactics. I spend the majority of my free time fishing and hiking here in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. I understand that the transition from military to civilian life can be difficult so I am very excited to be involved in sharing info about the SkillBridge program.

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.
![]() The GI Bill paid for my dad’s education at Brown U. He was always grateful for that opportunity because his parents didn’t have much money. He was a straight-A student and captain of the baseball team. He even played against George Bush, Sr. who attended Yale U. Dad said Bush was a smooth fielder, but couldn’t hit a lick! He played pro ball with the Cleveland Indians and advanced to their AA Club before hanging up the cleats. His first contract was for a whopping $250/year! His folks couldn’t believe that he wanted to be a ballplayer after earning a prestigious college degree. |
![]() Dad served as an Army Scout and conducted small team missions ahead of the main troops and reported back on the enemy positions. He claimed he never actually saw combat, but after watching a WWII documentary about the Battle for Manilla, I’m pretty sure he was just holding back and protecting us from the horrors of war. I regret I didn’t ask more questions while he was alive. I remember asking him if he ever considered not enlisting. “No way,” he declared. “Every kid in the neighborhood including all my friends and high school classmates signed up immediately after Pearl Harbor. That was our duty. We never regretted it and it was a great honor to fight for our country. NBC television anchor, Tom Brokaw, was spot on…truly a “great generation!” |
![]() Dad grew up in a poor neighborhood in South Boston with immigrant parents (Spanish was his first language). In 1942, at age 17, he left the city limits for the first time in his life for the Philippines. I remember him telling me about how scared he and his best buddy were to be heading off to fight at such a young age, but grateful they were getting shipped out together. “We shared the same single cot on the ship because neither of us wanted to be alone. We were shaking the entire ride over,” he said. |
![]() Our daughter, Malina, is a sophomore at Connecticut College in New London, CT (directly across the street from the Coast Guard Academy!). I remember like it was yesterday bringing her home from the hospital 19 years ago…wow, did that fly by! She’s such an amazing kid and I’m so proud of her (even though I miss her so much!). |
![]() My in-laws are incredibly generous and invite us to their Block Island, RI, vacation home for two weeks every August. It’s a beautiful island and we have such a great time with my sister-in-law’s family. |
![]() I love hanging with our 13-year old son, Eli. He’s a great athlete who loves boxing, basketball, and wrestling. He took me mountain biking this summer at a local ski resort. The highlight for him was watching his old man do his best “Superman” impression as I went flying over the handle bars attempting a jump…so glad I rented that helmet! |
