Resilience

About Jordan

Jordan Stevenson is the personification of grit and resilience. Growing up, Jordan spent his childhood dreaming of the day he'd get to wear the American flag on his sleeve; seeing the attacks of September 11 and the events that would follow only solidified his desire to join the fight. This would lead to 7 years as a U.S NAVY Explosive Ordinance Disposal Technician. His final deployment would come in December of 2011. On December 16, 2011, while deployed with the 75th ARMY Ranger Battalion, Jordan was shot through the left side of his head. Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of his team, Jordan was kept alive. Jordan's wounds would put him into an almost 2-month coma. Due to his injuries, medical staff advised his family that if Jordan survived past his coma, he'd be unable to walk again and permanently have difficulty speaking. With determination and the will to recover, Jordan not only survived but is now a thriving example of what's possible, even against insurmountable odds. Jordan has regained his ability to talk but with paralysis to the right side of his body. On January 6, 2016, Jordan elected to amputate his right leg below the knee to help eliminate the constant pain he was experiencing. This decision also gave him more mobility and access to the activities he once enjoyed. After losing a former NAVY teammate, Jordan has dedicated his life to being an example to men and women like him.
