I remember the first time I met my new BFF (sorry Rodney and Holly …
y’all never call me). My other old BFF, Jimmy, and I went to Nickie’s
for the all you can eat Crab Legs. This bartender came up to us and
said, “Can I interrupt you?” And then she proceeded to slay us with her
great sense of humor and wit. It takes a lot to make Jimmy and me LOL
and Kasey Jordan had us both rolling! Not only is she funny, but she’s
gorgeous too! Let me give you her story…
Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Kasey moved to Niagara Falls, New York
with the family and did her formative years there. Raised on the premise
of ‘live life to the fullest,’ Kasey moved from Niagara Falls, NY back to
Jacksonville, FL - about 10 times. During that period of self-discovery,
she also spent some quality time in Huntington Beach, CA and Tucson,
AZ. Along with all of her traveling to and fro, our girl picked up some
skills! Having worked somewhere in the industry since she was nine
years old (starting out washing dishes), she quickly moved to bartending
at various places, all the while studying and learning, becoming
proficient in several vocations - from a Pharmaceutical Technician, to
a CNA, Cosmetologist, and Phlebotomist, as well as a Loan Processing
Officer. With all of that spicing up of her resume and still not quite sure
where she wanted to officially land, she made the classic error of coming
to Tybee to visit a friend. Well, we all know how Tybee works and once
you’ve been here, you’re here.
Getting hired on at Nickie’s immediately, Kasey has never left. That is
also where she met the love of her life, Brian Jordan (known to everyone
as Shrimper Brian) and immediately got hitched! Well, with a great job,
husband and life, where else would you want to go?
Well, our girl had an answer for that too, as I had to ask her the Questions
of Life:
Tybee Life: A year and a half.
Passion: Online shopping (Yikes!!).
Grow Up: Retired and living on a boat in the Caribbean.
Spirit Animal: A cat. They are cute and vicious. Yes, I do believe that
one is spot on.
Kasey’s go-to drink is the KC Kan Kan, which is a mixture of vodka and
other top secret ingredients that she refused to reveal. Well, dammit!
Guess y’all are just gonna have to go into Nickie’s and see what the fuss
is all about.
Don’t forget to tell her Happy Birthday on September 25th!
