Hi there, and thanks for stopping by my personal website! Here’s a bit about me and my journey:

I’m Robert Franklin “Bob” Jordan, born in August 1958 in Portsmouth, Virginia. I spent my childhood bouncing between Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida before my family settled in the Pacific Northwest in 1970. Growing up, I was surrounded by a strong military tradition—my dad served in the U.S. Navy, and my mom was from Seattle, Washington.

In high school at Lincoln, I played baseball and football, but wrestling was my real passion. I became the Seattle Metro Champion at 158 lbs. during my senior year. I kept wrestling in college at 177 lbs., but unfortunately, injuries put an early end to my athletic days.

College was a big turning point for me—not only did I give my life to Christ, but I also married Leslie in 1979. We’ve built a pretty big family together: eight kids and nine grandkids, spread out locally and along the East Coast.

My career has mostly been in corporate settings, working in Aerospace, Medical Device, and Department of Defense industries. I started out as an assembler and worked my way up to General Manager, picked up some technical degrees along the way, and even spent ten years teaching as an adjunct instructor at a private engineering college.

Jail and prison ministry has been a huge part of my life for the last 47 years. I’ve served in every prison in Washington State, as well as a bunch of jails and juvenile centers, and for the past 20 years, I’ve taken that work international—training others in effective prison ministry practices.

Eight years ago, I started my own property damage restoration business, where I get to use my background in chemistry, teaching, leadership, strategy, and problem solving. Earlier this year, I published "The Mitigation Handbook," which you can find right here on the website.
