Born and raised in rural Victoria, Jordan Hickey was surrounded by a car-loving family before he could even talk. His parents’ automotive workshop fuelled his strong passion for all things four wheels.

Surrounded by classic Ford and Holdens, brand-new vehicles and everything in between, young Jordan spent his free time flicking through the pages of Wheels Magazine and even conceptualising his own automotive marque.

These days, Jordan spends his time contributing across the Wheels, 4x4 Australia and WhichCar brands on the news desk, with a keen eye on the latest happenings in the automotive industry.
