Gordon grew up in Queens and lived in Los Angeles before moving to Boulder 24 years ago. Having experienced real traffic in NY and LA, upon arriving in Boulder, he was surprised to hear people say the traffic was getting worse, which turned out to be nothing compared to sitting on the 405 freeway, aka “the San Diego parking lot”.

Starting his career with a heavy emphasis on finance, Gordon morphed over time into corporate mergers, and ultimately strategy. Realizing there is a lot of important nuance to negotiating, Gordon learned the best ones often stay calm, respect and understand their counterparts, are honest, reliable, and often straight shooters. Professionally, Gordon remains active on two company boards, Patra, an insurance technology company, and Suerte Tequila, located right here in Boulder.

Six years ago Gordon and his lovely wife Cathy joined City Club, and have enjoyed being exposed to a broad array of spiritual and intellectual people. In fact, being a part of a larger community was one of their initial attractions to Boulder, though they never fully got to do so until they retired and joined the Highland City Club community.

Gordon enjoys swimming, golfing, running, spending time with Cathy and their two sons in Santa Monica, and their daughter who will soon be a senior at Boulder High. Gordon and Cathy look forward to meeting more City Club members in the gardens once the Pandemic is over.
