Who is…

Jordan “Dxtr” Holmes

I didn’t know where I fit in. Society pushed boxes of what success was based on title and occupation, but I came to find my own definition: Being present with curiosity while staying unapologetically adventurous, creatively impactful, and wellness-centered.

I am making my own way while basking in the journey, and want to help other people do the same……And if you’re looking for me, you can find me in the woods……
