New Zealand-born former defense force member who, along with his wife Karen L. Gordon, served as one of Jeffrey Epstein's most loyal long-term employees. The Gordons managed Epstein's Zorro Ranch property in New Mexico from the early 2000s until Epstein's death in 2019.
In 2016, they relocated to Little St. James Island to take over operations following the death of the previous island manager. As property managers, they lived on-site, coordinated closely with Ghislaine Maxwell, and maintained the extreme privacy of Epstein's estates. Although no allegations of wrongdoing have been made against them, their two-decade tenure managing Epstein's most sensitive properties places them among the longest-serving members of his staff.

Background
Brice M. Gordon is a New Zealand-born individual who served as one of Jeffrey Epstein's longest-tenured employees, working as a property manager for Epstein's real estate holdings. Documentary evidence spanning from at least 2003 through 2019 shows Gordon managing operations at both Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico and Little St. James Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He and his wife, Karen L. Gordon, appear together in numerous financial and corporate records tied to Epstein's entities.
Gordon's role encompassed day-to-day operational management, including coordinating equipment and storage logistics, providing weather updates for island operations, and overseeing schedules. Email communications show he reported directly to Epstein and coordinated with other key staff members such as pilot Larry Visoski and staff member Ann Rodriguez. His PayPal account, investigated by the FBI in August 2019, listed a St. Thomas, USVI address, consistent with his residence on or near Little St. James Island.
Epstein valued Gordon's service highly enough to name him as a beneficiary in trust documents, designating a bequest of Two Million Dollars to Gordon contingent on surviving Epstein. Gordon also held supplementary American Express cards on Epstein's accounts and received regular compensation through checks issued by Zorro Development Corp.
