In the 2024-25 season, Gordon helped lead the Bulldogs to two podium finishes at the America East Championships, with the women placing second and the men finishing third. Bryant captured seven gold medals during the championship meet.
 
Following a successful first season as associate head coach, Gordon helped guide the program to historic success in 2025-26, leading the women's team to its first America East Championship in program history, while the men's team maintained a third-place podium finish.
 
Following the 2025-26 campaign, Gordon and the Bryant staff were named America East Women's Coaching Staff of the Year.
 
Before his time at Bryant, Gordon spent four years as an assistant coach at La Salle University. During his tenure with the Explorers, he led both the sprint and mid-distance groups and coached athletes who broke Atlantic 10 records and posted NCAA provisional qualifying times.
 
Gordon competed collegiately at East Carolina University and was a Conference USA finalist in each of his four seasons.
