Gordon Cloke
Gordon Cloke joined The Geneva School Board of Governors in 2006, having previously served as president of the Geneva Parents Association since 1997. Gordon lives in Winter Park and also serves as a ruling elder at Saint Paul’s Presbyterian Church, Orlando.
Gordon graduated from University College (University of London) in 1986 with double first class honours in Philosophy and Linguistics and has retained an enduring passion for language, philosophy, literature, and the classics. While at college, Gordon also met his wife Sarah and dedicated his life to Christ while under the teaching of Reverend John Stott at All Soul’s Church, London. Thus were established the three-fold overlapping passions that define his life: Sarah, classicism, and the cause of the gospel.
The Clokes have four children, all educated at The Geneva School—Alex (TGS Class of 2006, Samford University), Fran (TGS Class of 2008, Furman University), Lily (TGS Class of 2013, Grove City College) and Moira (TGS Class of 2015, Jacksonville University)—and three grandchildren. When their youngest child graduated in 2015, the Cloke children had completed forty-seven Geneva school years! In 2016, their granddaughter Abella (TGS class of 2030) began her Geneva career.
Gordon has worked as a professional software developer and executive on both sides of the Atlantic, having moved with his family from England to Orlando in 1992 while working for Xerox Corporation. He currently serves as senior portfolio manager at ServiceNow, providing a global technology platform designed to make the world of work, work better.
