Michael Gordon, B.S.

Project Manager

I am originally from northern Indiana. After graduating from high school, I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where I served as an Air Defense Systems Technician. I spent three and a half years stationed at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms in California before volunteering for diplomatic security duty at U.S. embassies abroad. Over the next three years, I completed consecutive tours in N’Djamena, Chad; Beijing, China; and Brasília, Brazil.

Following my military service, I attended Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis for one year before being accepted to Yale University through the Eli Whitney Students Program. I graduated in 2025 with a B.S. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading, taking care of my plants, and spending time with my wife.
