Lead Veterinary Technician

Gabe’s veterinary career began at just 17 years old, when he volunteered at an animal hospital for high school extra credit. That experience quickly turned into a career: after graduating, he was offered a position as a kennel assistant, and he hasn’t looked back.

Since then, Gabe has gained extensive hands-on experience in general practice, emergency medicine, intensive and critical care, and veterinary ophthalmology. His diverse background has helped prepare him for his current role as Lead Veterinary Technician at Reid Veterinary Center, where he has been part of the team since 2024.

Gabe’s love for animals extends well beyond the hospital. He and his wife share their home with two Chihuahuas, Eli and Choco; four cats, Dobby, Weasley, Bellatrixx, and Nimbus; and a bearded dragon named Mercury. In his free time, Gabe enjoys building LEGO sets, shopping, dining out, and spending time with his wife and family.
