Influenced by his uncle, who was a Canadian rodeo champion. Gordon entered his first rodeo at the age of eight. He loved riding broncs and bulls, and he loved the adrenalin rush he experienced while competing in rodeos.
After completing high school, Gordon attended Weber State University with a rodeo as well as an academic scholarship. He graduated with a BSc. degree in Biology and Secondary Education.
Upon completion of university, Gordon moved back to Alberta, Canada.
Jobs in the teaching profession were scarce at the time and with a young family to support, he decided to get a job working the drilling rigs on Northern Canada's Arctic Islands. Gordon came to enjoy everything about the oil industry and was soon exploring ways to advance his career.
An associate in the petroleum industry approached him about an opportunity to become an "Oilfield Scout." When he discovered that scouting was actually spying, he knew this would be an exciting and dangerous career, something that was right up his alley!
He jumped at the opportunity to try something new.
After two years of working for an independent scouting contractor, Gordon started his own scouting company, a company that had as many as sixteen professional spies employed at one time.
Stalking a drilling rig in the middle of the night with a high caliber rifle slung over his shoulder was an every day experience, and as with rodeo competition, the adrenalin rush never faded, not even after twenty years.weniger sehen
