ⓘ About Gordon Carroll

Gordon Carroll was a literary fiction author who grew up in a small town overlooking the majestic Rocky Mountains of Colorado. As an eighteen-year-old, he joined the Marine Corps, serving for more than seven years and rising to the rank of staff sergeant. He then transitioned from the military to law enforcement, becoming a sheriff’s deputy in a tight-knit community in Denver, Colorado. His affinity for dogs soon led him to become a K9 handler and trainer. Over a span of twenty years, he trained three dogs: Thor, a 56-pound Belgian Malinois, JR, a 120-pound German shepherd, and Max, a 90-pound Belgian Malinois.
