Hey, I’m Gabe

I'm a simple guy. I like to write. I like to travel. I like to play basketball.
I don't travel when I do that. That would be a turnover. I'm veering way off course.
I got into advertising because Matthew McConaughey played an ad guy in a movie and I thought that job looked fun. Turns out it is and I’ve been doing it for 18 years. I once made a documentary about celebrating a holiday every day of the year and I also put out a rap album when I was in my thirties. My five year old daughter Gigi would probably roll her eyes at it. My IG algorithm is made up of film reviews and frenchies. I don’t know. Bios are weird. Let's have a beer instead. I’m proudly Cuban-American so we can also have a cafecito.
