A Milwaukee woman sued a Kenosha man and his business, Now Outdoors, LLC late last month. The company, according to its website, includes adventure tourism, wilderness first aid, first responder training, international expeditions, public speaking and education. Gordon is also an adjunct professor at University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
According to the nearly 11-page lawsuit:
The plaintiff, “Tiffany,” met Nicholas “Nick” Gordon In August of 2023 on a social media app called Meetup. Tiffany, a Milwaukee attorney searched “Backpacking” and found Gordon – the two started to talk. Gordon uses this app to solicit clients for his business. Tiffany went on three adventures with Gordon to Munising, MI, Waupaca, WI, and Medford, WI. She had planned to go to more adventures in Cuzco, Pero, Nepal, Asia, and Tanzania, Africa.
Tiffany and Gordon developed a sexual and romantic relationship on the three backpacking trips that they went on together. The first time they were intimate, Gordon exited the shower in their shared hotel room with his penis “fully exposed.” Tiffany sent her friend an “OMG Text” depicting what just happened. After this, they exchanged romantic text messages, shared tents and hotels together, engaging in “sexual interocouse” several times – at least five separate and distinct occasions as laid out in the lawsuit.
Gordon, Tiffany, and several others bought plane tickets for a backpacking trip to Cuzco, Pero. Gordon told Tiffany that they would be sharing a room together for the trip, like they had done before. Gordon sent Tiffany a text message once stating they he feared leaving a key for her at the front desk of the hotel might “blow their cover.”
Once in Peru, Gordon told Tiffany that the two wouldn’t be sleeping in the same hotel room, but instead, Tiffany would be staying in a room with a stranger. Gordon then called a cab to have Tiffany taken to the airport to go home. Tiffany attempted to communicate with Gordon with the WhatsApp group to see what was happening and Tiffany learned she was blocked from the group.
Eventually, Tiffany agreed to sleep in the same room as the stranger. Tiffany was then told she wouldn’t be allowed on the backpacking trek. This is when Tiffany learned that Gordon was married. An acquaintance of Gordon told Tiffany, “I’ve known Nick a long time, and we go way back, and I’m appalled by your allegation of having a sexual relationship with Nick. Nick would never cheat on his wife – he’s happily married.”
Gordon then posted on Facebook:
“Facebook friends. A disgruntled participant who has been promptly removed from a NOW Outdoors international trip is actively harassing me, my family and friends, other participants, and NOW Outdoors with threats, defamatory comments, and false statements. If you see or receive any messages of this nature, please report the poster to Facebook and please send me a copy of the message. NOW Outdoors is committed to creating a respectful, inclusive, and safe environment and will not tolerate this kind of behavior. Please forward any messages to me and block this individual. My family is well aware of the harassment.”
Tiffany filed suit on July 22, 2024 for the damages she claimed to have suffered, including more than $7,000 for the peru trip, including prep and gear, negligence, infliction of emotional distress, breach of contract, intentional misrepresentation, unfair or deceptive acts or practices, wages loss, and punitive damages.
KCE spoke with Gordon on the phone who said “no comment” and immediately hung up. The lawyers who Gordon says are representing him in this lawsuit, Padway and Padway also didn’t wish to comment either. KCE spoke with Tiffany. She believes that Gordon kicked her out of the Peru trip at the last minute so that his wife wouldn’t find out he was having an affair. She says she has all of her text messages and sufficient evidence to prevail in court. Tiffany also tells us that she was offered hush money to drop the suit and keep the details of the affair to herself.
“[I was] left all alone in Peru [and] Gordon showed an utter disregard for [my] safety.”
They are both due in court in January of 2025

Her first mistake was double bunking the FiRST time and then
2nd, not keeping her frigging knees together.
BINGO.
Tiffanys 1st mistake was believing this punkass was a nice guy.
This lying bastard probably told her what she wanted to hear, just to get some action.
He likely started this business to solicit sex from female customers while ‘working’
The wife should divorce this turd and take 50%.
Di not take him back
Tiffany, better Hope that I am not on the jury.
Are you the wife?
Yes
No , but I have sucked this man’s penis.
That’s a long ways off January
She’s a ho and he’s a scumbag
Why is that?
If she didnt know this scumbag was married, whats the issue?
Nick the dick knew he was married, knew he was cheating on his wife multiple times, risking everything for some pie.
The dude is a total pig
Perhaps she shouldn’t shack up with a male stranger and then decide to bang him. Better life choices equal better outcomes.
I think she is going to get a pretty good outcome….Kenosha is a welcoming and safe place to be – the jury will be made up of hard-working people who will know he is a fraudster.
“Welcoming and safe”…I’m guessing you have blue hair and a nose ring LOL
No. Just blue blood. No nose ring.
Some one likes the word life choices. 🙂 I think its Dawn Mackety or Suzanne McWilliams or Erin Gross.
It’s a fitting phrase too 👍🏻
Stranger?
This guy was her tour guide, not some random bar fly.
I wonder if this perv just caters to females travelers?
He is no doubt a slime ball.
I think he owes 2 people an apology:
His wife
and Tiffany.
Probably only sorry getting caught
Who doesn’t like pie. Apple is #1
Pie is good.
Peach
Chocolate
Cream pie
Gimme a break. Cherry rules!1!
Make a grown man cry, sweet cherry pie…
She’s not a great person either
The wife is a kindergarten teacher and is very nice. I’d ditch the husband, what a jerk.
Homey be sleeping in the dog house
Wow using a “business” to have an affair!!
Who knows how many times he’s used that group to hook up with unsuspecting members. Sounds like he finally messed with the wrong woman
Sounds like a real preditor.
She’s not all that innocent either. Newsflash- hooking up with a stranger is. TERRIBLE idea.
I thought they had a 1 year relationship – this was just a 1 night thing?
Pretty much, she booked a trip and decided she wanted more.
Totally untrue! I know her personally and this was not a one night stand with a stranger! You probably shoulnd’t comment negatively without knowing the situation fully. I pray that this type of thing never happens to you or someone you know personally, your outlook may be different if you were in her shoes!
She’s mad that her recent hook up is married. How is this news?
Not 1 night.
He cheated on his wife several times with Tiff
Well then she has no moral compass or ability to vet her one night stands
everyone is a stranger until you get to know them more, hell I was married to a stranger for a couple decades
She’s not the one that’s married.
Maybe once the word gets out, more women will come out and reveal other times he has done this.
Lady lawyer
Nuff said
Wow! He’ll hath no fury than a scorned woman. Dude messed around and found out!
He chased her with his tally walker
I mean….the last person to try to pull this shit on is an attorney. I’m pretty sure she has evidence….
Her evidence is her Gonorrhea she got from him
Clap clap (see what I did there?)
Terrible to use a business to solicit unsuspecting victims. But to do that to an attorney is just plain bad judgement on his part too. What was he thinking. His wife should run and not just walk away.
And the lady needs to make better life choices.
Some one likes the word life choices. 🙂 I think its Dawn Mackety or Suzanne McWilliams or Erin Gross.
We heard this the first 2 times you said it.
Somehow I’m guessing this is not his first go at this. The problem here is that this time he picked the wrong mark and now it’s coming back to bite him.
What a dick.
That’s what she said!
😂😂😂
Did Tiffany really not know he was married? Hmmmm. I find that hard to believe.
Karma is a bitch.
It would have been cheaper to just take the pussy.
That’s what I would have done.
Consenting adults is one thing. But hopefully has not used this ‘business’ as a means to the achievement of his “pleasure”. I’m no judge & jury. Let the judicial system take its course and await the outcome. No doubt – time will certainly be telling.
You already said this.
Justin Padway is such a douche.
This is crazy. Whatever happened in their relationship, he can’t just ditch this woman in Peru and not allow her to participate. If he couldn’t continue the relationship, he really should have settled things with her prior to her flying to South America!
And anyone shaming a grown woman for having a sexual relationship needs to grow up. There are a lot of things off about this situation, but a single adult becoming intimately involved with another single adult (as far as she knew) isn’t one of them.
Correct, but she should know that hooking up with a stranger will likely lead to other problems. She cannot blame him for her lack of judgement. Pretty scary that she’s a lawyer.
Dudes not innocent either- what a douchebag, but he’s not the only one here.
Considering they had gone on a few trips together, doesn’t sound like a stranger. They met through a meet up group and had similar interests.
He wasn’t a stranger and her record in the courtroom is very respectable. Her courtroom success demonstrates good decision making.
There’s nothing shameful about her dating and having an intimate relationship. I’m not sure who all these judgy pearl-clutchers are. Somehow people think educated people who perform well in their fields are morally superior and have personal lives that are impeccable. Just because someone rises to the top, doesn’t mean they deserve angel wings. I have to wonder how many of the people dishing out the shame about her dating have cheated on their spouses, but don’t direct that shame towards themselves.
She’s a someone who seemingly prefers flings, who’s mad that her fling is married. Hardly news- worthy. When are we going back to consequences for actions? She didn’t vet properly so she lost $.
Well said!
He sounds predatory. No way this was the first time he used the business as a cover for his screwing around. She lost a lot of money on this trip and deserves compensation.
How many times are you going to repeat this?
Can you say predator, to bad criminal charges can’t be brought against him.
But Tiffany can destroy the douche bag and his business in court.
And think out her choices in the future. Finding a man on an app and banging him after just meeting him is likely not a good idea. She’s lucky he wasn’t a serial killer.
Or he can turn his business into camping for swingers and get what he really wants.She will probably be back.
he will be fired from uw milwaukee and end up with the other losers. kusd
He probably won’t end up “with the other losers”. He’s clearly a smart, hard working, and successful guy. It sounds like he’s morally off in a big way, but he’s probably going to continue being successful. Think about it; he’s a professor and started a successful business and is married to a very nice person who also has a successful career. Those are the accomplishments of a loser.
Those aren’t the accomplishments of a loser.
Frued
I don’t think the college will keep a PROFESSOR who is “morally off in a big way”. just sayin.
Who cares…this guy cheated on his wife, which is his personal business and he also runs a successful small business by all accounts…why is this anyone else’s business?
Ripping off ones customers isn’t running a successful business. This problem could have been solved in reasonable way rather than leaving this woman out thousands of dollars.
the adventure starts with SHARED hotel room That is mistake number one.One could easily predick he was going to come out naked.”oops he said ” He calculated that move
Pre-dick
Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Lol
I have no idea which party, or if both are at fault here. All I know, is that I don’t even like the way he looks.
He looks like an uppity, holier than thou college educated jerk.
An “attorney” and a “professor” got entangled in this mess. Makes sense. Two goofball “professions.”
How dare this man lead her on like that! How would a woman know that he is married? I find men like that just horrible people. He wasn’t fair to Tiffany nor his wife.
Hush money?? Maybe this is a set up like Stormy Daniels, democrats, a corrupt DA and a biased judge. Is the offender MAGA?
Im guessing the ‘hush money’ was the cost of the trip to keep dude’s unfortunate wife from finding out hubby is dirty.
Save up for a divorce, Nicky
YOU were wrong in sooooo many ways.
moron
You should know something’s amiss when you book an OUTDOOR adventure and your guide sleeps in a hotel room. 🤡
wow, this should be great material for a soap opera
Take note of all the guys on here that think it’s okay for a guy to lie, cheat, f#ck around, etc. But then comment the woman is a ho and needs to “keep her legs together”.
They are the real problem. Treating women like possessions is the reason you are all lonely, divorced and sexless. Shut your mouth until you can pull yourselves out of the 1950s.
If the shoe fits…
There goes his business, especially if more {wo}men come out of the woodwork…….
Predators are masters of deceit
Everyone is commenting about the consensual sexual relationship. That doesn’t appear to be the real issue here. The problem is that the business owner ushered the customer out of the country after the promise of an exciting adventure. I understand the cost; financially, physically, and mentally of taking challenging hikes and the excitement that builds leading up to the trek. What a disappointment that must have been for the customer and the group. Sounds like this was a very poorly handled situation. The customer is due some recompense and the owner should not mix business with pleasure as there is usually a downside to that equation.
Some of these comments are totally crazy. Ppl, this woman was screwed over by this business owner. They had sex several times and he did not want to be outed when a closer friend was present on the last trip and so he conducted himself in a manner that is reprehensible by sending this customer and sexual partner on her way. And to top it off, HE is MARRIED, she is not! What a POS!!!!
I don’t like this guy
This man is despicable, and so are the people who are victim shaming.
This is not good at all and very unacceptable. This guy should not be allowed to guide tours at all. He should be terminated and banned from the tourism industry forever. Guys like this are the ones that give bad reputation to tour guides and local tour agencies. He should not be doing tours and Tiffany should get all of her money back and more. I hope he gets what he deserves and that Tiffany gets her money back plus more because of going through all of this bogus unnecessary very unprofessional outdoors now agency. That agency should be banned from the tourism industry.
As I understand from the article, the Nicholas Gordon is an educated adventure-loving man who created a for-profit tourism company. He met “Tiffany” online and provided the right answers to convince her to hire him to lead/escort her (as part of a group) on several trips. They hit it off and the developing friendship on the outdoor adventures led to multiple sexual encounters. This actually makes sense to me because the high adrenaline experiences of adventure traveling is almost romantic and can be described as and perceived as foreplay.
Then something changed whether it was her asking for more, him feeling different after achieving the sexual conquest or maybe a friend finding-out or be close to finding-out. Gordon did not reveal his marriage status to her or maybe she didn’t do her due diligence but I think that he was worried about being “outed.” He made several bad choices at the start of the Peru trip that I can totally see as the behaviors as being made from a position of “fear” and “anxiety.” He clearly didn’t think things through especially given that Tiffany is a very intelligent and successful attorney.
Despite her position in the world, I imagine that the events in Peru probably devastated her (abandonment, safety fears, etc) and that she felt the after-effects for a long time… perhaps akin to PTSD. A person doesn’t just snap out of it and simply move on. I am certain she was affected and probably inoperative for a long time. I am certain that she will provide evidence of such in court.
The hush money offer was obviously provided to buy her silence with the payoff clipped to an NDA. I am not surprised that she refused because she wants Gordon’s apology attached to the money. Maybe the money isn’t even important anymore?! A public trial in a courthouse is the best way to get that outcome. I do wonder if there were any laws broken that would interest the State after all, he did use his business to woo Tiffany and I’m thinking that this wasn’t the first time the he hooked-up with a client.
I am surprised to see an actual thought-out, respectful, and well-written comment on here. Typically, the crowd here are knuckledraggers who would be blaming Biden for this whole incident, lol.
95% of the comments that are not thought-out, respectful or well-written, are posted by one mentally ill women, who was a former wall of shame participant. comments are by Tiff’s friends and supporters. Every comment that is not well thought-out, or respectul thought out and senseless and filled with victim shaming is made by a former “wall of shame” participant. She was blabbing in another forum and Tiff put it all together.
Sorry, haven’t had coffee yet. And you cannot edit once it is posted. Anything that says “stranger”, “choice”, “banging” or other victim shaming words, are all posted by the SAME poster, who is a mentally ill woman. This became evident when she was posting the same exact comments – in another on-line forum under her true name, instead of anonymous.
She’s a community terrorist. Police have had to physically take her down – in their own lobby. The husband ditched her and new wife had to get a restraining order against her. I’ll exercise discretion and not put her name here – but the boys in blue will know who she is. While she equally bashes Nick and Tiffany – I’ll presume she is a friend of the wife. I think the wife should make some better choices with whom she associates with, since both her husband and her friend have now BOTH been posted on the wall of shame.
I hope she gets Nick the Dick for everything he has! What a lying SOB two-faced cheating scum bag! Also thanks for the warning… I would never trust this guy ever to take me anywhere!
His first sign of guilt was the ridiculous Facebook post. He outed himself.
Yes. The confession – and the attempted recant – when he removed the word “prompt” in confession #2. Good point, Troy, I thought the same thing when I saw it and laughed. Perp does not have a legal mind and doesn’t understand persons with legal minds know how guilty people act and can predict every move.
He’s just trying to emulate the behavior of our 45th president.
I firmly believe in living an open and public life. My wife ALWAYS knows where I am and who I am with. And she knows she can visit me (say a tavern, the Y) anytime and unannounced. She will never find me doing something inappropriate. The MOST freedom you will ever have is living honestly. No tracks to cover. No lies to remember.
