In addition to his roles as VP of Product at Scoutr and Founder and Game Director at 6 Wing Studios, Gabe provides mindfulness coaching to professionals and creates mindfulness-themed talks and events accessible to people of all experience levels and backgrounds.

Gabe’s Story

At the age of 27, Gabe crossed the stage to receive his doctorate in Industrial/Organizational Psychology only to discover the diploma came with no super powers. Worse still, he discovered upon entering the workforce that he’d pushed himself to the breaking-point for nearly a decade to prepare himself for a career in which he had little interest. Having operated mindlessly for so long, letting his life unfold on autopilot, Gabe found himself depressed, burnt out, and lacking any sense of purpose.

Gabe’s journey to recovery began with a recommendation to begin meditating. Gabe was skeptical, convinced meditation was “hippie crap”, but he was converted by mountains of rigorous scientific research showing meditation’s irrefutable benefits to focus, health, and well-being. After experiencing the benefits firsthand through a meditation app, Gabe left his former life behind to study yoga and meditation at Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville, where he discovered a new way of life filled with intention, curiosity, and gratitude.

Gabe returned to the world with renewed purpose and is now a successful technology entrepreneur and public speaker. Leveraging scientific data, story-telling, and humor, he has delighted hundreds of professionals and students with interactive talks, set up company Mindful Meetups, and has partnered with retreat centers, yoga studios, and restaurants to put on mindfulness-themed events including silent retreats and Mindful Meals. His current passions include developing a mindfulness-themed video-game and coaching business leaders and political activists to champion their causes from a place of intention and empathy.

Dr. Gabe meditates with EEG neurofeedback with Dr. Jeff Tarrant of the NeuroMeditation Institute, gets his brain mapped, explores the VR meditation experience, “Healium”, by StoryUp, and presents before yoga and secular audiences.
