Jordan T. Maxwell, a paramedic by trade, lives in north central Missouri where he grew up and where Dandyflowers is set. He is the father of a beautiful, inquisitive eight-year-old daughter who he lovingly calls "Goose." His six-year-old son, known affectionally as "Monkey Man," is a handsome, intelligent little guy who holds the distinction of being the only baby his dad has ever delivered in his twenty-plus years in Emergency Medical Services.
