Kweillin “KG” Gordon has found his footing in the spirits industry. With a foray into real estate and financial services, Gordon’s storied career entails being a real estate investor, turning over apartment complexes, being a money lender, owning an insurance agency and an online sports magazine.
“In the past, I was just doing these things because it made sense financially and not anything that tugged at the heartstrings,” says Gordon, CEO and co-founder of Greenwood Whiskey.
Propelled by his passion and perpetual grind for the industry, he decided to take charge of his narrative and enter a realm where he aimed for the highest accolades.
The Development of Greenwood Whiskey
In 2018, Gordon partnered with friends Che Bailey, James Roach, and Sheldon Johns Harris to create and introduce the brand Greenwood Whiskey. Gordon met Bailey when they were business partners working in financial services. Bailey was friends with Roach and Harris, which led to Gordon meeting them and forging an instant friendship.
