"I Get Up Again" | J.J. Gordon | TEDxNDSU

The failures of everyday life: how do you handle these situations? The way you handle these downfalls can say a lot about a person and provides greater learning lessons about life. J.J. Gordon is an entertainer, education and ice cream enthusiast from Fargo, ND. While attending high school at Fargo South High, J.J. met the love of his life - improvisational comedy. After graduation, he attended Columbia College Chicago and spent time taking classes at comedy institutions such as iO and The Second City. J.J. moved back to Fargo to assume the role of Artistic Director of The LineBenders and has loved every minute of being back home. Active in theatre, you may have seen J.J. on stage in local productions at Theatre B or through the Fargo-Moorhead Community Theater. He also spent several years on television as "The Bad Banker" in a series of commercials for Bell State Bank. J.J. also tours the country as a creative consultant for law enforcement agencies participating in Crisis Intervention Training.
