Alright, so i'm starting a blog. So let's start with a quick introduction.
My name is Jeff Jordan. I'm married to Stephanie and have two kids: Madison who's seven and Connor who's four. The other member of our family is our dog, Boomer, who we rescued in March 2010 and believe to be a Lab/Grey Hound mix. I love music, movies, football, video games, and playing disc golf.
That's the basics. So why start a blog now? Well, first of all, I've always wanted to journal as a way to help me remember my life. I've just never been good at it, so hopefully I'm starting a good habit. Secondly, I'm starting a new phase, or journey if you will, in my career so it seemed like a good time to start.
I've been unemployed for 4 months and am about to start a brand new career path. Ever since I've moved to Nashville in 1999, I've been working in the music industry in some sort of sales rep capacity. It has been a dream come true. I've met many of my music idols and have gold and platinum records on my wall. I've worked for several companies in that time frame, but now feel like a piece of chewing gum. I've been chewed, used, and spit out, which is not an unusual story for someone in the music business. So, I am now picking myself up off the ground and am about to do something I never imagined I would do... SELL INSURANCE! My journey towards owning my own business starts Friday as I meet with a District Manager of Farmers Insurance. If all goes well Friday, I'll then get licensed and trained. I honestly can't believe that selling insurance is what God has planned for me, but after a lot of prayer it seems this is the direction He has me going.
This is the beginning of my blog on my life, the God I love and the unusual ways He speaks to me, and my journey as an Insurance Agent.
