Hi! I'm Jordan and I am from Kerkhoven which is a rural town in west central MN. I am 26 years old. I grew up on a dairy farm and I am still working in the dairy and crop farming business currently. This summer I will be working at Lake Beauty Bible Camp in Long Prarie, MN as a cabin leader.
I grew up in a small, rural Covenant church of which I am now a member. Also went to a small public high school. I have three younger brothers. My brothers and I are all very sports minded. Over the summers we play a lot of basball and softball together. I also enjoy football, basketball, golf, and fishing. Really I enjoy anything outdoors.
In 2008, I graduated from South West MN State University (SMSU) in Marshall, MN with a degree in Ag Business. Since then I've worked on a few different dairy farms and have been working with my dad in the crop farming business. Over the past couple winters I've spent about 6 months in Costa Rica working as a short-term missionary and studied spanish for 6 weeks as well. I also recently just spent 10 days in Panama doing missions work.
I first became interested in the World Race during my fist trip to Costa Rica when I visited a missionary family who told me they thought the World Race would be a great oppurtunity to serve God all over the world. This got me interested because I knew a girl from my church currently on the race. After talking to them about it I soon started reading the blogs and became more and more interested in going on the World Race myself. And so here I am today, only about 5 months away from the start of an 11 month trip around the world with one goal in mind: To glorify and serve God wherever we go.
