He will share his dynamic message of hope, perseverance, and the power of education. After being mentored by his high school principal in South Texas, Gabe was rescued from gang influence and became the first in his family to go to college. Because of mentors and the education, he received, he dreamed bigger and never gave up. He began his career as inclusion specialist for special education and behavioral students at Oak Crest Intermediate School in San Antonio, TX.
