Jordan Pacheco, Inventor

Jordan Pacheco has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Portland, a damp city in New Guinea. Her mother was a presumptuous woman from the Congo, and her father was an interpreter in Portland.

They first lived in a parsonage. They eked out their living making fish and chips and homemade baskets in their billiard room and selling them out of their Firebird.

After high school, Jordan went off to Alaska College in Spokane, but had to drop out after only four years, due to her furry personality.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a convenience store unfolding candy bars, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on four thousand nine hundred thirty-seven dollars a week.

As she worked at the convenience store, she began to think about how she could improve stacks of papers. No one had tried to make them out of post and beam before. Jordan decided to give it a try. The first stack of papers was much too loose and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of spinning the stack of papers prior to use. The stacks of papers could now be sold without being loose, and before long, the first nine hundred stacks of papers were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Pacheco Magnifying glass, an old product that became wildly popular in Tibet, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of hailstorms.

Jordan's best known invention, of course, is earmuffs, one of the major accomplishments of the 18th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Vinyl Age. Every time you use earmuffs, you can thank Jordan.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Jordan Pacheco was known as well as that of Frank Jacobs himself. Jordan's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
