History
Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, Eastern Kentucky
In 1996, Dr. Tim Jordan founded Health Promotion Consulting Services. Since then, he and his consultants have been providing beneficial services to many organizations. See the reviews listed on the bottom of this web page.
In July 2022, Dr. Jordan changed the name of his business to the 1795 Group. He selected the name to honor Jonas Jordan, his great-great grandfather, who was born in 1795 in Virginia.
Jonas was good, kind, honest, and compassionate. At age 22, he married a widow whose first husband died tragically in an accidental explosion. Jonas adopted her two small boys, and the young Jordan family made the arduous, 300-mile journey by covered wagon to Lawrence County, Kentucky (KY).
Two generations later, Dr. Jordan’s father (Clyde) was born near that same location.

Dr. Jordan’s ancestors on both sides of his family are from Eastern KY.
The accompanying picture (circa 1936), shows Dr. Jordan’s dad (Clyde) when he was about 3 years-old (the little boy at the bottom right), his dad’s siblings, and his dad’s mom, Cora Jordan.
The Jordans were resourceful and hard-working. They trapped, hunted, fished, and grew what they could and canned vegetables from their garden for the winter.
They did not have electricity, running water, refrigeration, an indoor bathroom, gas furnace, nor air conditioning.
The same character qualities that made Jonas Jordan the outstanding man that he was are the same character qualities that have been passed down to Dr. Tim Jordan: honesty, humility, compassion, and hard work.
You can be assured that the 1795 Group exemplifies these same positive traits.
