After his MLB playing career, Bordley returned to USC where he earned his finance degree as a dean's list student, while serving as the USC pitching coach. In 1988, he joined the United States Secret Service as a special agent. He served 5+1⁄2 years on President Bill Clinton's detail. Bordley was compelled, via subpoena, to testify through the Office of Independent Counsel headed by Ken Starr, in the matter concerning the president and White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. In 2002, he was promoted to Resident Attaché Agent in Charge for the Secret Service at the American embassy in Moscow. He was in charge of all presidential and vice presidential security operations in visits to Russia. He accompanied Russian president Vladimir Putin, on numerous visits to the United States, coordinating with Kremlin counterparts. Bordley provided oversight on top secret investigations, including the counterfeiting of United States currency, fraudulent international banking operations and protection assignments in over 50 countries. Bordley was assigned to Germany when 9/11 occurred and investigated numerous terrorist cells out of Hamburg. He is conversant in the German language and maintains top secret clearance. Shortly after the 2011 World Series MLB Commissioner Bud Selig named Bordley chief of security, officially Vice President of Security and Facility Management. He is a staunch proponent for the extension of security nets around all MLB stadiums and worked with MLB players and executives in efforts to implement this. Selig first met Bordley in 1976 when his Milwaukee Brewers drafted Bordley.
Bordley is a Roman Catholic and a member of the Catholic Athletes for Christ (CAC).
