Army captain to community orthodontist, Brad Pendell's unexpected journey home

CHILLICOTHE— Dr. Brad Pendell thought he knew exactly how his life would unfold when he left Waverly for college. Instead, a scholarship sent him around the world, introduced him to lifelong friends, led him to his future wife and ultimately brought him back home to build the orthodontic practice he'd dreamed about since middle school. More from the Gazette: Chillicothe veteran turned his darkest moment into lifeline for others While in college, Pendell met with recruiters for several branches of the military who were offering scholarships to dental students. Despite his father and grandfather having both served, joining the military wasn't something Pendell had ever really thought about. However, a two-year scholarship helped change his mind. Soon he was serving as a dental captain in the Army and training to become an orthodontist. He served from 1992 to 2000 and traveled to various bases in the United States and was even stationed in Japan and Korea for multiple years.

She said creative fiction writing has always been something she enjoyed in and out of school. "My lifelong dream has been to write a novel," said Gordon. After graduating, Gordon started working for magazines and quickly started working with organizations as they transitioned into the online era. This led to her working in the tech field, she is currently employed by Meta and has previously worked for Google. When she worked for a magazine, Gordon covered the cultured pearl jewelry industry, where she traveled the world and got to know those involved in the trade. Despite a shift in her career, Gordon said she still had all of this knowledge from her reporting days "rattling around" in her head. She put this knowledge to use when she started her book in 2010.
