Who's Who?

Jordan Williford
Ben met Jordan through a mutual friend (Kristen Bush) who lived down the hall from Ben in his freshman year of college at the University of Kansas. They were both invited to a dinner at the Bush family cabin just south of Estes Park in August of 2001, just before the start of the fall semester at CU Boulder where they were both going. Neither one had roommates or a place to live for the upcoming year and on top of that also shared a common fact that they lived with crazy old ladies before coming to Boulder. After a few evenings of looking at random apartments they settled on the historic "2930", which will never be the same again.

A year later, Jordan passed along a few internship opportunities at Seagate Technolgy, where Jordan had worked for a couple of years and for the summers of 2002 and 2003 Ben and Jordan were both "putting on the ritz" in Longmont, CO.

Jordan can also be blamed for the beginning of Ben's "beer snobbery". When they first moved in together the first order of business was to acquire a quarter barrel of BJ's Jerimiah Red Ale, remove all the shelves from their new refigerator and enjoy the tasty beverage for a while. Jordan also is to blame in the acquisition of the beer fridge, which without it Ben would not have nailed his phone interview for his first internship at Seagate.

These days you will find Ben and Jordan attending beer dinners, playing hours on end of Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii, or watching DVR'd episodes of The Daily Show or Colbert Report. (in Boulder, of course)
