Jordan Waid

Jordan joined the Air Force in 2019 as a ground transportation technician until a near fatal fall in March 2020. During an off-duty hiking trip he fell, sustaining a severe TBI and polytrauma injuries. When talking about it with fellow AFW2 Wounded Warriors he said, “I died. Really, I died for a few minutes then they brought me back.” Since his injury he has been working to gain his mobility and cognitive abilities closer to a new sense of normal. He does this through continued therapy and the use of adaptive sports as part of his recovery.
