"My daughter inspires me. Everything I do, I do it with her in my thoughts! I want to be able to provide for her and be a part of her life as much as I can be. And I also want her to be proud of me."

"Five things I can't live without? Air, water, food, myspace, my daughter, with my daugher of course taking most precedence in that list"

"I've always been good with constructive criticism. Again, I'm in the military and that it would be a rough time for me if I were to be thin-skinned and not being able to handle criticisms and rejections."

"Denny, my photographer, more or less called me an anomaly in that I was the one person who has done the most risky things in life (my military experiences) but was the most shy in front of the camera."

"I pretty much wear anything that I think I look good in. I'll wear a coat, tie, jeans, one night and then a hoodie, hat, wallet chain, and Jordan's another night. T-Shirts with stupid sayings on them or pretty important as well...good conversation starters."

"Since I was deployed to Afghanistan, Denny and I wrote to each other and he provided me with helpful insights into modeling and made the shoot more comfortable in advance."

"Why Modeling? several friends of mine have told me that I should give it a try so that's what I'm doing. I hope that one day I could possibly be a well paid model, in that way I can be doing something fun for a living and would be able to spend more time with my daughter, as I'm in the army and will be going on another mission by February."

"Denny was very patient and easy to get along with. He was very up front and honest, as he warned me he would be! I would say that the most important thing he taught me was that to be a good model, you have to come outside of "the box" and take risks."

"I like to hang out with friends...whatever activity that may be. With my lifestyle of living mission to mission, friendships become vital."

"Being that I am very new to this, I'd have to say Denny,  had been the only "coach" rich in knowledge and loaded with patience that had really helped me deepen my understanding of this field."

By February, Shawn will embark on his new mission in the army, in the meantime, what will keep him busy? "For Thanksgiving, I am going to Tennessee to spend time with my daughter and parents. Any time a holiday comes around, the military lets us off and I'm able to leave town. I enjoy spending what time I can with my girl. When I am deployed, you have to make the best of the situation, but that always involves a call to my daughter, that's always my top priority." Shawn maintains a positive view in Modeling, but also recognizes the challenges that lays ahead of him, "I've been to actual combat three times so far, I've shot and been shot at, I jump out of planes as a requirement for my job, I dressed up as Super Woman for Halloween, and all of that was fine....opening up and  being captured in a photo as such...it's something I probably need to work at." With his winning personality, charming looks, Shawn Jordan is definitely on the road to future Modeling success.
