[edit] Biography
Gordon was born at Illinois Masonic Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. He was a typical child and enjoyed the outdoors and animals. In the summer before 8th grade, he injured his hand playing with fireworks; his father had warned him the day before to be careful with explosives. Most of his life he lived in Chicago. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, his mother and father took him to California and Florida.
In his early 20s, Gordon attended Southern Illinois University as a student. During this time he also became a stripper for a short period of time. A year later he attended the University of South Florida in Tampa. After college, he went into sales. Ultimately he hopes to become a meteorologist. However, at this time he is selling lightsabers to make money. Gordon is currently in the process of moving from Florida to Los Angeles.
