For the past ten years, no canoeist in the United States has been able to touch Jordan Malloch.

Hefs traveled the world, representing the United States at 2 different Olympics & a handful of World Championship events.  Along the way, hefs graduated from college, become married to an amazing woman, purchased & remodeled a home in the Northern Seattle are and has started a family... with their second child expected this Spring. Itfs rather safe to say, gJordan Malloch IS the American Dream.h

However, itfs not always been white picket fences, fluffy puppies & Costco memberships... Only weeks before to the 2008 Olympics, Jordan received an heart-breaking phone call. Apparently, internal, Olympic politics were preventing the United States from sending a canoe team to China. Despite the fact that Jordan was racing faster than any American canoeist in history, hefd be watching the Olympic Games from his home television.

At 30 years of age & after a lifetime of athletic pursuit, Jordan Malloch retired. Recently, over lunch, he gave me the skinny on the next chapter of his life.
gIfve transferred all the competitive energy Ifd previously reserved for canoeing races into a career as a commercial & residential realtor. I still spend a lot of my free time on the water, paddling outrigger canoes and stand up paddle (SUP) boarding.h

Imagine standing on a surfboard, using a canoe paddle to propel yourself forward... that image in your mind is pretty close to gSUP.h

gI really enjoy paddling. Now that I am retired from international competition I have to do something on the water to keep myself from getting too fat. Itfs a big change going from full time athletics to running a business. I really enjoy selling real estate, but it doesn't exactly keep me in the same kind of shape as when I was training full time...h

Athletically, the next event in Jordanfs sights is the Molokai Crossing. Itfs a 42-mile race starting on the Hawaiian island of Molokai & finishing on the shores of Oahu.

Regarding his real estate goals, Jordan says, gI am pretty competitive, I want to become the top realtor in the Seattle area. So, if you or anyone you know is looking to buy or sell a house, looking to invest in an income property or are looking for a space for their business, please let me know. I would enjoy the opportunity to help out.h

Judging from the way hefs gman handledh some of the worldfs best athletes over the past ten years, the Seattle real estate scene should consider itself warned.
