Gabe’s Journey

Burn the ships…explained

about

Struggling with his weight his entire life, Gabe was bullied and set apart. Lacking self esteem and identity, Gabe developed unhealthy relationships with food and alcohol that ultimately spiraled down upon the untimely death of his father in a motorcycle accident in 2005. After almost 10 years of struggle, Gabe sought help in recovery. This journey of change has culminated in a completely new life of fulfillment. This journey of hope may help others to emerge from difficulty.

Gabe is an accomplished business executive with 18 years of leadership experience. Having worked inside of fortune 500 companies in the private sector, his engaging communication style and love of people has provided him with the potential to help others by telling his story of growth and redemption.

In 1519, Spanish conqueror Hernan Cortez led 600 men to conquer the Aztecs. Upon arrival, he made the decision to “burn the boats”. The message of no turning back was sent to his troops who ultimately succeeded. It is this concept that Gabe used as metaphor for his own journey - as we “conquer” certain areas of our lives, we don’t turn back, we look forward!
