Gabe grew up in Aberdeen, SD and graduated from South Dakota State University's Accredited Landscape Architecture Program. Growing up as a golfer, as well as working for golf course grounds maintenance for a number of years, he knew he wanted to make Landscape Design his career.
Through school, he grew a deeper passion for the profession and used it to propel himself into his professional career. After a few years of working up the landscape design industry out of state, he and his wife desired to return to South Dakota, where he landed at Weller Brothers.
Gabe says there is no sweeter feeling than seeing a client's dream vision come to life – whether that be in the design process, presenting 2D and 3D designs, or in the final walkthrough when everything comes together.
When he's not designing in the office, Gabe enjoys spending time with his wife and their year old black lab, Phoebe. He also enjoys spending time with family now that they are closer to home. Gabe's dad was a golf coach, so golf has remained a favorite sport since he was a child.
Gabe also enjoys bringing his work skills into his personal life; his wife is also an SDSU graduate in interior design and now a professional residential home drafter, so they have also picked up a new hobby of creating plans and 3D designs for their home and making it theirs piece by piece.
This year Gabe and his wife will be open a new chapter as they are expecting their first child, in August!
