After college, he jumped into finance and spent decades wearing many hats. He started as an analyst at one of the largest U.S. banks. Then he worked in sales and customer service at one of the nation’s leading home lenders. Eventually he moved into management and a vice president role in the Southern California market. Along the way, he saw the good side of finance – helping families achieve goals – but he also noticed priorities in big institutions that didn’t sit right with him.

Over time, he realized that he could follow his own values. He came to believe that you can succeed by doing the right thing and caring about people, without being exploitative or greedy. This shift inspired him to step away from large firms and focus on serving people in a more honest, human way. Now Gabriel is excited about sharing what he’s learned. He looks forward to helping others solve problems and make progress in life, all on his own terms.

Outside of work, he is equally devoted to his family and personal passions. He’s happiest running on a beach, hiking in the mountains, or exploring nature with his wife and kids. He balances his desire to help others with the joy of being present at home, finding energy in family, nature, and lifelong learning. Quietly thoughtful and warm, Gabriel’s approachable style comes from a genuine belief in kindness and curiosity. He’s proof that you can blend professionalism with heart and still make a positive difference in people’s lives.
