Meet Jodie Minor
A native of Pickens County, Jodie was raised by his grandmother after his father was tragically murdered and his mother joined the U.S. Army. Growing up, his grandmother worked at a local clothing factory while he and his older brother spent their days outdoors, playing sports, and engaging with their community church. Jodie became an all-state basketball player at Carrollton High School and earned a collegiate athletic scholarship.
After college, Jodie dedicated himself to public service, enlisting in the U.S. Army. Over his 20-year military career, Jodie deployed twice to Iraq. He was selected as an Army Congressional Fellow and served as a Legislative Assistant for Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) on Capitol Hill. Jodie later worked as a Congressional Liaison for the Army’s Congressional Budget Office at the Pentagon. He was selected for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel before retiring with honor.
After military retirement, Jodie served as a Legislative Specialist at Transportation Security Administration’s Congressional Affairs Office. He most recently held roles as Program Manager and Human Capital Director for The White House’s National Security Council under both the Biden and Trump Administrations.
Above all, Jodie is most honored by his call to ministry and loves to spend time with his four children.
