He is a retired Information Technology Consultant who worked around the movers and shakers of the corporate world for thirty five years. This occupation provided ample opportunities to observe the silliness that sometimes passes as big business while also allowing him to hone his sense of humor along the way.
His wife, Susie, served as the Director of a workshop for mentally handicapped adults before retirement. The years spent in the company of the associates in the workshop taught both Gordon and Susie the real meaning of their existence as well as grounding them in the lessons learned from the realities of life.
Gordon and Susie retired shortly after the turn of the century, sold practically everything they owned and set out in their RV to see the sights of North America. Ten Years and two grandchildren later, they have begun to slow down but they haven't seen it all yet so they're not quite ready to turn in their truck keys.
Their travels led to a journal which quickly became a regular newspaper column published weekly in four newspapers in two countries. His quirky, one of a kind humor also appears occasionally in at least 3 other publications. Gordon's writings are sometimes hilarious, sometimes sentimental, once in a while nostalgic and always entertaining. His first book, `Travels with Susie', was published in 2006 and chronicles the adventures of the couple as they learned to make their way about the country in an RV. `Good Times and Bad' was published in 2008 and continued the Travels with Susie theme as well as adding a look at the Nostalgia of growing up in Indiana.
Gordon and Susie are currently making plans to volunteer in the Florida State Park System for the winter of 2011 - 2012. And as always, after that, who knows? God willing, we'll all find out.view less
