Gordon joined Intel Santa Clara in 1982 as a Financial Analyst right after graduating from UCLA with his MBA. When the Folsom site opened in 1984, Gordon was part of the first group that transferred there, and he never left during the rest of his 34-year career! Over the years he had roles in Finance, Operations, Product Marketing, Channel Marketing, Strategic Marketing, internal start-ups, and general management. One of his most unusual and interesting roles was a sabbatical coverage for the Gateway 2000 Account Manager in the mid-90s. He got to see a lot of North Sioux City, South Dakota for those 8 weeks!
Gordon retired in 2016 and joined the IRO Communications Committee in 2017 to help other Intel employees with their transition to retirement. He also regularly volunteers as a Docent at the Community Observatory in Placerville, CA showing the public the wonders of the night sky. Gordon and his wife have 2 children who live nearby and a brand-new granddaughter. In his spare time, he enjoys cycling, skiing, hiking, physical fitness, and a nice glass of wine.
