During his time at DePaul, Gordon has been studying Business and Finance, and is also looking into getting his real estate license after he graduates. "I honestly don't know why I chose to do business, but I knew I wanted to do real estate eventually, so I thought thought I would need a background in how money works," said Gordon.
