CONGRATULATIONS TO JOE GORDON ON HIS PROMOTION TO DIRECTOR OF SECURITY
After an extensive search and evaluation of several qualified candidates, we are very pleased to announce the promotion of Joe Gordon as our new Director of Security. The Search Team unanimously agreed that Joe brings the knowledge and experience necessary to fill the position and he has the advantage of already being familiar with the community, membership, other departments, and the processes and procedures of the security operation. Joe was born in Virginia and at a youthful age his family sought warmer weather and moved to Arizona. Joe grew up in Mesa and directly after High School enlisted in the United States Air Force. He was a Security Forces member for 14+ years reaching the rank of Technical Sargent before being honorably discharged and separating in 2011. Joe was able to travel the world during his career and during those years Joe was responsible for the security of everything from nuclear weapons to managing the USAF Inmate Management branch and Victim Witness Assistance Program. After Joe’s 5 deployments and a combat tour in Iraq, it was decided to seek out a new career. After separating from the USAF, Joe became a Freight Conductor with Union Pacific Railroad and moved freight across Southwestern parts of Texas and to the U.S./Mexico border. During this time Joe met his now wife Inez and after 4 years working with the Railroad in San Antonio, Texas they decided to relocate to Flagstaff, Arizona in 2015. In September of 2015 Joe was able to go back to his Security roots when hired as a Safety & Compliance Officer at Forest Highlands and in 2017, Joe was promoted to Operations/Shift Supervisor. Later that year he applied for and was offered the new position of Assistant Director of Security. Joe is looking forward to a new chapter in his tenure at Forest Highlands as Director of Security and excited for what the future will bring. During their time away from Forest Highlands Joe and his wife enjoy their two dogs Liberty and Letty, all things outdoors, traveling for Baseball games, gatherings with family and friends and supporting local veteran organizations.
