Jordan Vlasschaert is a Father, Therapist, Ex Bassist for the band Shred Kelly, Skater, and a staple in the Valley's mental health force.

Mountain town paradise isn't always paradise. Jordan and I dive deep into the issues that fly under the radar in these amazing places we call home. Topics come to the surface of how we cope, and how there is a lot more struggle going on around us than we realize in these paradise towns.
