How Our Paths Crossed

How 2 people born 2,247 miles apart ended up together

Matt's Story: Matt was born in Manteca, CA back in 1994. He graduated high school in Azle, TX in 2012. After graduating high school, he attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK where he graduated with a bachelors in Marketing and a minor in Entrepreneurship. During his undergrad, he enlisted in the US National Guard. He was deployed to Ukraine in 2017, and returned to Fort Worth after his deployment. In Fort Worth, Matt worked for RedBull and pursued body building in his free time! Jordan's Story: Jordan was born and raised in Holland, MI in 1995. She graduated high school in 2013, and following graduation her family moved to Omaha, NE. After her high school graduation, she attended the University of Findlay, in Findlay, OH while traveling to and from Nebraska for her breaks. She graduated with 2 bachelors in Western Equestrian Studies & Business Management in 2017. Immediately following her college graduation, she moved to Weatherford, TX to pursue a career in the cutting horse industry. Their Story: It was towards the end of 2017, and at that time Matt was spending a lot of free time at the gym working on his body building. Jordan had also taken up spending her free time at the gym and after a few poorly executed exercises, Matt made the first move by offering to help her use the correct forms. A few weeks later they had their first date at On The Border. It was a typical first date - butterflies, nerves, and of course a slight awkward tension between the two. The awkwardness was amplified by a gawky server that had no idea what he was doing! It was utterly hilarious and eventually helped relieve some of the awkwardness between Matt & Jordan. It's been almost 2 years since their first date, and they have since left Fort Worth and currently reside on a large ranch just south of Oklahoma City, OK. Matt currently works for Paycom up in the city and still active in the military, while Jordan is the breeding manager for the ranch they live on!
