Gabe is an educator and consultant who believes in the power of play— Legos offer an outlet that encourages creativity, team sports can teach collaboration, and role-playing games can cultivate empathy. After all, as the quotation on the wall of the Toy Hall of Fame reminds us: “Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning.” In his last decade of work with positive youth development, Gabe has organized community-based programming and overseen the development and implementation of statewide initiatives, all focused on developing belonging within communities as a form of holistic prevention of public health issues.
