Driven, Evolving, Intense

After his wife Cary and daughter Olivia, and “making a crappy day better for clients,” Gordo is most passionate about outdoor sports — hiking, mountain biking and, most recently, surfing. (“Anything that’s outside and involves some level of suffering.”) He’s also an advocate for building and maintaining hiking and biking trails for everyone. An avid traveler, he’ll go “anyplace I’ve never been to before, and the farther away from tourism, the better.” Bucket list includes exploring Ecuador and climbing Kilimanjaro.
