Surprising is the word that comes to your mind when you think about Oliver Gordon. At first sight, he's one of those open minded persons that enjoys social life (he works as a DJ and barman), with a very personal point of view when it comes to style (he likes to be seen, mainly when it comes to women). However, there's something that marks his whole life and all his actions - Religion. He's a believer, a person who strongly believes in God and goes to mass every Sunday, a man raised in a Jewish family, but who suddenly found in Christian religion the answer he had been waiting for during his whole life.

When interacting with other people, he's a friendly, easy-going man that likes to joke around, but - and this is a powerful but - he has to like you. If for some reason he dislikes you, he's going to ignore you and will try to avoid any kind of interaction. He's not rude, neither weird, he's just selective with the people around him. He likes people with a deep side, people that finds more in life that what is just on the surface.

When it comes to love life, he was lucky to find a woman that loves him as much as he loves her. The problem, though, is that he likes women too much. He likes to flirt around, but his faith stops him of doing anything that could hurt his marriage and his principles.

Oliver was born in San Francisco, into a humble Jewish family. His father, Mark Gordon, was a fisherman who spent a lot of time in the ocean to keep up the family, while his mother, Elisabeth, worked in a grocery store in the street they lived.

When Oliver was ten years old, both of his parents died in a car accident, when the family was driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco after attending a wedding. Oliver was the only survivor of the accident, and his grandparents - Elisabeth's parents - decided to take him with them to Pleasant Port, where they owned a farm. Oliver quickly got used to the farm. He liked to climb up trees, help his grandfather in the lands, and help his grandmather collecting eggs. His childhood was happy, surrounded by a lot of friends and an environment he quickly learnt to love.

When he was 18, what he wanted the most was going to College. He wanted to become a highway engineer. But unfortunately life had other plans for him. He was diagnosed with leukemia and the doctors didn't give him very good expectations. Was then when he took refuge on religion. He began to attend church with the hope that God would listen to his prays and would health him. A couple of years later, after long sessions of chemotherapy, the doctors were glad to announce that the cancer was gone. The only thing that reminded from it, though, was Oliver's faith. Since then, he attends church every Sunday, and he proclaims himself a believer.

When he was 32 he met Caroline, a sweet girl that quickly stole his heart. By then she was 26. They got married on a sunny Saturday of June in Holy Trinity Church, and they're still happily married. Four years later, they had a daughter, Brittany. They all live together in a small cute house in Farmer's Avenue.
