Early life
WingsofRedemption allegedly said that he was born to underage parents who had incestuous relationships among themselves, and thus, he was, instead of his parents, raised by his grandparents. His father is unknown, as he decided to leave the Jordan family when Jordie was a 2-year-old.
When Jordie was a school student, he was of averagely average weight and was physically quite active. However, things started to go down when a foreign exchange student attended his school and won over him in numerous athletic competitions. Jodie thought increasing his calorie intake would help him grow faster, gain more energy, and thus make him stronger. Following this, he would overeat. But this did not help; instead, it only made him overweight.
He once suffered a head injury due to being stuck by a baseball bat. However, he made a full recovery from that skull injury. Though it has not been conclusively proven, it was theorized that this skull injury he had suffered had a negative impact on his cognitive abilities.
He used to get bullied by his mates in school due to the physical Bowleggedness that he suffered in his childhood. This frequent and continuing bullying by his peers that he had suffered in his school days eventually resulted in him developing bipolar disorder, social anxiety, and, as he grew up, depression. Jordie failed twice in his ninth standard and dropped out while he was in high school.
Jordie has a brother named Kenneth, and when they were teenagers, they moved to live with their mother. Jordie even took up multiple jobs as a teen. He worked at The Movie Gallery, IGA, Domino’s, etc., not until he got a job at a company named Metglas, Inc., where he was hired as a crane operator.
After being laid off by Metglas during the financial crisis in the United States, his friend, Z7TaylorZ7, introduced him to the extensive world of YouTube. It was the turning point or critical moment of Jordie’s career when he started to rethink his career choice. Thus, he created a YouTube account on the 26th of January 2008 with the name WingsofRedemption, giving a kick start to his career as a Streamer YouTuber.
Career
In October 2009, the first video as a Call of Duty commentator was uploaded on Jordie’s official YouTube channel. At that time, gaming commentary was a relatively new thing and thus got popularized soon. After receiving a shout-out from a famous Call of Duty commentator, his subscribers quickly boosted and reached sky-high. Soon enough, he got into a contract with the multichannel network company Machinima, adding more to his successful career.
WingsofRedemption has collaborated with some big names in Call of Duty commentary and the YouTube community, including WoodysGamertag and FPSKyle (FPSRussia). Jordie and the two of them launched the PainKiller Already Podcast, which he would host for the following years before ultimately getting kicked out of it. Hoping for success, he shifted to Twitch in 2019 and began streaming there. However, not long after, he had to return to YouTube after his partnership was terminated as he violated Twitch Exhibit D. Jordie even reached the Billionaire’s Challenge tournament finals in 2011 but ultimately lost it to xJawz.
WingsofRedemption Wife
In mid-2013, Jordie shared a video where he stated that his girlfriend, whom he was then dating, Brandy, had deserted him, which worsened his depression even more. This video brought him across a lot of mockery and criticism.
