Gordon is a natural leader and believes in growing leaders at every level. He began life in Brecon, South Wales attending the local grammar school and loved the mountains and always dreamed of going to remote places one day.

Going to school in a competitive era certainly encouraged him to further his skills and talents and he represented his school in a wide range of activities. He was encouraged by his PE teacher to use his talents to represent his school, club and county in rugby, soccer and cricket and also ran for Wales in cross country and middle distance track athletics.

In between he was a deputy head Chorister at Brecon Cathedral following his father into the Choir. Since those times Gordon has moved on and constantly packed his life with so many achievements and experiences.

His passions in life are skiing, mountains, coaching, travelling, languages, cricket and the Olympics. He has met Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Chris Bonnington.

He would like to walk in the Himalayas, Tibet and visit Patagonia in Argentina where his Welsh ancestors emigrated in the 19^th Century.
