==History==
Jordan joined YouTube on December 5, 2014 as an experiment to prove to his mother that YouTube was not a toxic place, he started off only uploading gaming videos such as videos on Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (his favorite game at the time) and Mortal Kombat. after nearly a month and a half he conlcuded his expirement, deleted all his videos, and became inactive until May 2015.
When his parents green-lit Jordan's Channel (Then Known as Jadamson1) as well as his younger brother's channel (who hasn't uploaded since 2015). Jordan Continued to do gaming content consistently until just before his 16th birthday, where he did his face reveal, and unveiled his at the time first car, a 2005 Kia Spectra5, Jordan expressed in the video a desire to produce automotive vlogs like his idol Thatdudeinblue. Jordan, however, due to his diagnosis with Autism Spectrum Disorder 9 years prior and the fine motor skill problems it included Jordan found he could not drive a standard at the time. At this point Jordan's parents decided that they would surprise him with a new car of his own.
On February 5, 2016, the current mascot of what is now Roast_Tirez was revealed, a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Jordan at this point began to slow down gaming content as he wanted to focus more on vlogging with his new Truck, he began the short ran #ProjectExplorer series from late 2016 to mid 2017, 2017 however proved to be one of the hardest years for Jordan, after losing his grandmother in February 2017 he fell into a dark depressed state and even considered suicide, also paired with relationship troubles at the time and graduating high school Jordan felt extremely pressured. However, he found it in himself to get back up and keep providing video content for his viewers, even attempting to return to gaming content at one point (it was poorly recieved and Jordan stopped making gaming content altogether at this point).
Throughout 2017, Jordan also started to become more focused on providing high quality car videos on YouTube and began to cover car events across the metro Atlanta area, starting off with the local event for him, Boosted Mafia. this small car meet was where Jordan came into his own for car meet videos, and up until 2019 was one of Jordan's longest-running video series on his channel. Jordan also began attending Atlanta's "Cars and Coffee" Style event known as Caffeine and Octane, which is now his longest running video series. In late 2017 he met his friends Cason (MG Productions), Jake, the Brandons, and Hayden at events and school. Jordan and childhood friend Michael (kindlestone) continued to be close after graduating from high school in 2017. Currently Jordan lives with his family in Georgia and continues to attend car events, go to school, mod his truck, and most recently picked up classic Video Games as a new hobby, highlighted in a video in early February 2019. Jordan has a second channel dedicated to gaming and console modification as well as computers simply named Roast_Tirez 2 (Formally just RT2). Jordan also opened up a community page on reddit, while initially planning to keep the RT Brand away from the proposed community pages, it helped tie in the channel to the page, this page is r/RoastTirezOfficial. A Facebook "Port" of the subreddit was launched on August 12th 2020. Jordan Had a infamous car fire incident in December 2020 Where the aforementioned Sport Trac caught fire after a fluid leak hit an exhaust component and ignited, Jordan and His Girlfriend were both uninjured.

*He hit 1,000 subscribers on June 14, 2020, a little over 5 years since the creation of the Channel
*For a short time from 2014-2018, he ran a handful of Gran Turismo based websites, most notably Ultimate Gran Turismo Tunes, as well as it's spin offs: GT Workstation, and UGTT Classic, while the later two were shut down, (With UGTT Classic being converted into a Sport Trac Registry website then being converted to it's present form as the official but unused RT Website) UGTT remains at it's 5.00 update, which was released January of 2018, this is mainly due to Jordan's lack of time to compile tunes on Gran Turismo while working on the new RT Brand, as well as Jordan's move to PC Gaming, where Gran Turismo is not playable. Jordan has thought about returning to the Website soon though for a 6.00 Reboot, but it safe to say that may never come.
*He uses his pro-gaming persona for future appearances at Tournaments (if that ever happens, even Jordan himself is unsure of that) as Upshift.
