Gavin developed a love of the outdoors at an early age. With his first dirt bike, he became an avid rider who loved the freedom of the farm and an open road. He shared his passion for riding with his sisters as a boy, and later with his true love Kathie, and his many brothers, Mitch Orr, Wes Compton, Jim Hunt and the late Gary Morris.

Gavin thrived on serving others in any way he could, and never asked for anything in return. First as a youth and later as a missionary in Norway for 2 years. He also was involved in Boy Scouts where he was Scout Master for many years. He made this journey with his 2 sons. He attended Rick’s College then continuing onto DeVry Institute of Technology in Phoenix, Arizona, where he attained an Associates in Applied Science and later a Bachelor’s degree in Science, both in Electronics Engineering Technology.
