Early Life
Though born in New Jersey, he moved to Florida sometime during his childhood where by his own admission he grew up on "Star Wars and heavy metal". He has three younger brothers, Westley, Dustin, and Aiden. His mother, Dana Brown, was formerly a cage dancer groupie for such bands as the Kinks, giving Jeordie famous musical contact. He is of Italian and Scottish descent.
Influenced by the likes of Mötley Crüe, Van Halen and Iron Maiden, he first picked up a guitar at the age of 13. Although a New Jersey native, he spent the better portion of his youth in the Ft. Lauderdale area, where he quickly embraced South Florida's growing music scene and, by age 15, had joined his first band, The Ethiopians.
