Gabe’s architectural education started at Dakota County Technical College. His youthful desire at the start was a career as a professional soccer player. He played in college and viewed architecture as a backup plan. As it turns out he loves architecture more than he ever imagined.
His mother’s maiden name is Picasso. A fact that impresses us more than it does Gabe. He smiles and says he’s not related. His father owned and managed tile subcontracting businesses doing work for clients similar in description to Reprise’ clients. His mom works in the restaurant business. Somewhere in his childhood and the life of his parents we find no surprise that he fits in here so well.
A man of dualities; he speaks English and Spanish; a leader in CADD language translation – Revit or AutoCad, cut the deck, he’ll play from either side; multi-residential projects in the morning, industrial in the afternoon. Always eager to abandon his desk for time in the field visiting sites; San Francisco, New Orleans, Kentucky, Texas, Arizona he speaks of as though they were pleasure trips.
Outside of work his travels, mostly to visit family in Monterey, Mexico or Houston, Texas. He would rather be outside moving about than reading a book. Snowboarding is his favorite past time.
In his years with Reprise large portions of his time have been invested in clients Such as Sinceri Senior Living, Braum’s Ice Cream and Dairy Stores, Pearson Vue and Best Buy.
