Gordy was born in Glens Falls to Jennie Valyer.  He grew up in Hudson Falls, where he developed a passion for the rodeo life, spending many hours at local ranches throughout the area.  Gordy then went on to join the United States Air Force, proudly serving in the Vietnam War and continued his accomplished service for 20 years, retiring in 1988.
