Summary
Jordan Harbinger will tell you the only reason he's still alive and kicking is because of his ability to talk his way into (and out of) just about any situation. He has always had an affinity for social influence, interpersonal dynamics and social engineering, helping private companies test the security of their communications systems and working with law enforcement agencies before he was old enough to drive. He has spent years abroad in Europe and the developing world and speaks several languages.
