Hi! My name is Gabe. 🙋🏽♂️
I have over 8 years of experience working in the startup & community world. I have had the opportunity to work with various communities of all shapes and sizes with singular missions to grow! 🚀 Each community has taught me to be a better community manager for the next and I am so excited to see my community management journey blossom.
Previously, I have worked with other EdTech companies like TechTalent South, Career Foundry, Section4, and StackIQ. The majority of my career has revolved around the Startup ecosystem, from Lawnstarter to Pinwheel, I love working in fast-paced environments that offer challenging and exciting opportunities. I look for growth, transparency, and a good culture anywhere that I go.
If you catch me outside of work, I'm an adventurous traveler - 6 countries and counting - and an avid lover of tennis! I also like meeting new people over a cup of coffee in person or virtually! Feel free to reach out.
P.S. Here are 3 Fun facts about me!

🤠 I am a native of San Antonio, Texas
🐶 I have a cockapoo who somehow manages to take all of my money
