I've had the privilege of knowing Jordan as a friend long before either of us heard about WantecVR. Since working together I've seen her determination, work ethic, and sense of humor blossom as a bartender and as a rising champion in our weekly League night races.
Jordan's story on how WantecVR came into her life is very common as all it takes is one friend to bully you into a racing simulator and you're hooked. I hope you enjoy Jordan and I's interview and find your own "How I got to Wantec" story soon!

How did you first hear about WantecVR?
"I first heard about wantec through my very good friend Alex after he had first gotten a job here a few years ago. Every other day he’d be texting me insisting that I come check out the racing sims".
What is your first memory at WantecVR as a customer?
"I actually worked here before I had the chance to be a customer".
What is your favorite memory of the owner Stef?
"There’s far too many to pick a single favorite".
When did you know WantecVR was with staying at?
"When our league night started to take off I knew I really wanted to stick around. It’s really awesome to see how our stream and highlights videos have been improving".
What was WantecVR like when you first started?
"When I first started working at wantec I found that it was pretty disorganized. Everyone had a different way of doing things and we had a lot more computer issues. I think now everything is a lot more streamlined".
Why is WantecVR a place worth staying at?
"I’m really excited to see the brand grow. It’s promising to see the bar sponsor a race team and see where that takes us".
What makes WantecVR different as a bar aside from our games and virtual reality?
"For me it’s all about the car community we see in here. This bar really brings together all sorts of different car and race fans whether it be formula, rally, or anything. Wantec really draws in all the cool characters".
What makes a “regular” at WantecVR in your opinion?
"A regular is anyone I see in here that’s really found themselves at home within these walls. From our league racers to our friends of friends, I always love to see these familiar faces".
What is your favorite drink and why?
"I think it’d be silly to say anything other than the Nuka Cola Quantum. It’s just so absurd".
What kind of improvements are you wanting to see out of WantecVR?
"I want to see WantecVR have it’s own full fledged race team. I know that’s a big dream for this place, but I’d love to see it really pan out".
Be sure to watch Jordan race this week during our League Night race at 8pm live in the bar or on Twitch!
