Jordan R. Foutin

Jordan R. Foutin (born: May 11, 1990) is an American novelist best known for his technically detailed espionage and military-science fiction thriller storylines set during and after the year 2178, A.D. in blended utopian and dystopian plots. He is also the Founder, Owner, and Chief Executive Officer of StormTeam Simulations.

Foutin's literary career began in 1995 when he began writing his first military science fiction thriller novel STORMTEAM (previously titled "Daniel Storm") published by StormTeam Simulations on July 4, 2017, and is the publisher of CEO Jordan Foutin’s free blog Chronicles of Aaen.

Early life and Education

Foutin was born on May 11, 1990, at a hospital in Provo, UT, and grew up in north Orem, Utah. The family is Scandinavian-American. He is the fourth and by far the tallest of four children to Janet Raty, who worked as a marketing professional and entrepreneur, and his biological father who works for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Jordan's mother worked to send him to Electronic High School (EHS), based out of Salt Lake City, Utah, from which he graduated in 2010 after multiple year-long computer malfunctions which impeded his timely graduation. During this time, he worked at The Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center (CMSEC, now CMSC) where he earned recognition for his leadership abilities during a high school internship with founder Victor Williamson. This internship resulted in Foutin’s rapid promotion to Flight Director in the then-USS Phoenix (NX-2005-C), a virtual Star Trek-themed battleship.

Foutin then attended the University of Phoenix in 2012, graduating in 2014 with his associate of arts in communications with a flight director-relevant focus, and then graduated with a bachelor's degree in the same field. Foutin's goal is to become a distinguished flight director, author, and business owner. While at the University of Phoenix, he worked at Discovery Space Center (DSC), utilizing his education to save DSC from otherwise looming bankruptcy. After graduating, Foutin started his own space center, StormTeam Simulations, while working for other companies as day jobs to supplement his income until his long-term career ambitions came to fruition, all while writing novels in his spare time. While at the Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center, he wrote his debut novel, Daniel Storm, which has since been revised, re-titled “STORMTEAM: A StormTeam Simulations Novel” and is published via stormteamsimulations.com, and many other fine online retailers as STORMTEAM: A StormTeam Simulations Novel in eBook, paperback, and audiobook.

Career

Foutin's literary career began in 2004 when he started writing then-titled Daniel Storm, which in July 2017 he published on Smashwords.com by arrangement with StormTeam Simulations under the pseudonym JR Winter. Young adult and adult readers were impressed with the work, with comments pouring in, "Absolutely life-changing. God bless you for this piece of art". Foutin's novels focus on the hero, most notably Daniel Storm and Sera Adriana Hart. He uses the formula whereby the heroes are highly skilled, disciplined, honest, thoroughly professional, and only lose their cool when incompetent politicians or bureaucrats get in their way.

Political views

Foutin is pro-life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Foutin generally dedicates his books to American conservative political figures and American military heroes, some of which Foutin has social connections with.

Personal life

Foutin is straight, single, never married, and has no children.
