A little more about Gordon; After graduating from college with degrees in Biology and Business, Gordon was recruited by Texas Instruments with positions in strategic sales on the west coast, working with C-Level executives for over two decades, traveling around the world. After re-locating four times in his career, Gordon retired from high tech. Finally, as many others before him that have grown up in southern Michigan and vacationing in northern Michigan, Gordon relocated his family “up north” and purchased a lakefront home in Bowers Harbor, Old Mission Peninsula. At the same time he purchased a successful contracting business in Traverse City working closely with many of the area’s residential and commercial architects and builders. The company thrived offering customers top notch customer service. After building a large base of residential and commercial clients for almost a decade, the company was sold to a local contractor.
