JD Ordonez is one of the eight people who will take part in The Real World: Brooklyn. The 22-year-old went through many struggles as a child, having faced abuse from his father who is vehemently against his homosexuality. After her grandmother brought him to Sea World, he vowed to become a dolphin trainer and, after graduating from the University of Miami with a marine biology degree, became one of the youngest in the world. Mature beyond his years—a trait he also looks for in other men—the Latino also works as a bartender by night.
