Original members included Jordan Tesimale, David Zant, Kenneth Elledge, Steven Huseman and Sonny Martin. Previously known as The Back Red House and sometimes The Fun House, they felt it necessary to break apart from such affiliations and establish a new organization. Being named after the surf break found behind the house (Genegators), word of The Gator House quickly spread throughout the island.
The Gator House is a private beach resort to select members and guests. The resort includes massages, hammocks, private beach access, a 2 star restaurant called "the kitchen", indoor/outdoor movie nights, a dance floor, free surf lessons and other recreational activities. The Gator House is also special events and party center for BYU-Hawaii students, and a film production studio for Zanto Films. David Zant, founder of Zanto Films and Director of the documentary "Gator House: Who We Is", is currently working on a second film expected to release in 2014. Current members of the Gator House include Jordan Tesimale, Tim McDonald, Doug Bush, Mike Hartmann, Jake Thuet and Steve Kempler.
