He lived with his grandparents, who always provided a stable environment for him as he was growing up.
He went on to join the army and traveled all over the world—to such places as Australia, South Korea, Japan, and the Fiji islands—and he lived in Hawaii for four years. During his travels, he experienced many cultures and different lifestyles that never existed in the small town of his youth.
In 1968, Curtis Jordan was born to Carnel and Vivian Jordan in Portsmouth, Virginia. He quickly realized that reading was a way that would either promote him or expose him. During a sixth-grade reading comprehension lecture, he realized how important reading was when a teacher wanted to place him at a reading level below his classmates because of his poor reading demonstration. That incident made him develop into an avid reader, which increased with intensity after he graduated high school and joined the Army. He read comic books, the Bible, and other various books, and he took classes on speed-reading. Over the years, his love for reading developed into a love for writing. He realized that he was easily able to write short stories fluidly, and his friends wanted to read them.
Curtis had the opportunity to give some advice to a woman about a man she was dating, and that experience led him to put his thoughts about the outcome on paper. It was fifteen years later before he decided he had something that should be shared with women who may feel as if they are unable to find a good man. He understood that a woman’s choice is crucial and that maybe it was more precious than most women had ever considered.
He found himself making subtle suggestions whenever his female friends asked for advice concerning men and relationships. His advice developed into a real concern for the kinds of men that he saw his friends choosing. This all became personal for him when someone close to him made a bad choice in a man. The relationship ended with her being heartbroken and left a single parent with a disabled child. This incident sparked Curtis into writing what has now become a book on the importance of choices.
Curtis is a retired army veteran with twenty years of military service, and he is a licensed respiratory therapist. His image is featured at the Bird Aviation Museum and Invention Center in Sagle, Idaho, for his work with transport ventilators while serving on the U.S. Army Burn Flight Team. He holds an Associate degree in Network System Administration and a Bachelor’s degree in Information System & Cybersecurity.
Curtis Jordan is single and the proud father of three sons, Curtis Jordan II, Dondre’ Jordan, and Darien Jordan.показать меньше
