Jody Gouwens

Jody is a native second generation Vermonter and came to Gordon’s in September of 2014. She is giddy to work for a small, family business. She’s all about buying local!

Jody also wears many a fancy hats here at Gordon’s. Recently she has moved into advertising, marketing and all things social. She’s the house photographer, bringing her 24 years of field experience to us. As she always says, “If you don’t look good, I don’t look good.” (a la Vidal Sasoon advertising in the 80’s).

In my downtime, I like to…:

“Going to museums. theater, photographing events and people, traveling as MUCH as possible and seeing live music, especially the band moe. My husband and I met on tour. 

We’re a moe.mance!  

Also cruisin’ in her vintage VW beetle convertible(named Velma) or VW bus, named Gus.

My favorite word is:

“Awe man! Gotta be ‘smitten’ or ‘giddy’, depending on the moment.”

If you could have dinner with anyone past or present, who would it be and why?:

“It would be a dinner PAR-TAAAY! Oh let’s see…Stephen Colbert, Nietzsche, Kafka, Anthony Bourdain, Christopher Lloyd, Alphons Mucha, Robert Plant, Gustav Klimt, Gene Wilder, Michael Hutchence, Robert Mapplethorpe, Ani Difranco, David Byrne, Bill Murray, Marina Abramovic, Alan Alda, Diane Arbus, Jon Stewart, Steve Diet Goedde, Vivian Maier, Melody Gardot, Victor Horta, Frank Lloyd Wright…this list could go on and on and on and on….”

I support local…

“Because growing up in a VERY small town in Southern Vermont, I knew from the beginning that every dollar spent was a vote for the world I wanted around me. Supporting families, neighbors & friends.”
