Whether he's strumming his guitar, raising his voice in song, or cheering from the bleachers at a baseball game, he approaches life with genuine enthusiasm. As a licensed minister ordained to perform marriages in California, Mr. Gordon brings the same passion to his spiritual calling as he does to his diverse artistic interests. His greatest joy comes from the time spent with his wife and two children, creating memories that weave together the fabric of family life.

His taste in cinema spans the epic grandeur of "Lawrence of Arabia" to the gritty realism of "Hustle and Flow," with classics like "The Godfather" and "Casablanca" rounding out his favorites. On television, he gravitates toward compelling storytelling, from the wartime dramedy "MAS*H" to the intense character study of "The Punisher," and the mysterious allure of "LOST."

His musical interests reflect an eclectic spirit, embracing the raw energy of Henry Rollins, the soulful reggae-rock of Bradley Nowell, and the conscious lyricism of Talib Kweli. This appreciation extends to the improvisational genius of Jerry Garcia, the indie rock innovation of Isaac Brock, the jazz mastery of Miles Davis, the bluegrass pioneering of Bill Monroe, and the folk storytelling of Gill Landry. 

As a devoted reader of Henry David Thoreau and a student of ancient Greek philosophy, Mr. Gordon's intellectual curiosity demonstrates his desire to explore life's deeper meanings through both contemporary and classical lenses.
