Gabriel is originally from the Chicago suburbs and was born into a multicultural family. His dad is a Colombia native, and his mom is from the state of Georgia. Both of his parents grew up abroad and eventually settled in the Chicago area, where Gabriel was born. This rich cultural background has influenced Gabriel's love for soccer, and he is proud to connect his soccer roots to both his Colombian and American heritage. He's a fan of Millonarios F.C. in Colombia, Portland Timbers (he likes the Chará brothers), and Liverpool F.C. in England. He also enjoys reading, playing on his Switch with his younger brother, and learning all kinds of facts about Pokemon. Gabriel is fluent in English and Spanish.
