More about Gabe:
Hello fellow queer adventurers! My name is Gabe and I’m beyond thrilled to join Stonewall Columbus as the Adventure Pride Facilitator. I am a Columbus native and lived in Boston for 10 years before returning to my home state to live my exuberant queer life here in the Midwest. I currently live in the Short North with my amazing daughter and my delightfully silly dog.
I’m an engineer by day but love to get outside and experience the wholeness of the wild, natural world. I love rock climbing, mud races, kayaking, gardening, painting, and improv. My most recent adventure was a 130-mile solo kayaking trip that left from Columbus and followed the Scioto River until it merged into Ohio River. It was as fun as it was challenging, and the time in nature empowered me to connect to my inner strength and beauty.
I hope to use my role at Stonewall to do some of my favorite things: connecting with people, honoring my body through movement, and being out in nature. I’m so excited to meet you all as we go on outdoor adventures and explore some of the amazing space central Ohio has to offer.
