What is Jr. Ranger?
Learn moreGabriel loves the calming effect that nature provides whether he be next to the water fishing or hiking through the forest. He finds nature relaxing and full of wonder at the same time. It provides adventure and the opportunity to observe animals in their natural habitat. When one with nature, the stressors of being an almost-teenager, big brother, and budding entrepreneur fade away.
Gabriel’s favorite animals are the dog and the lion. His dog, Odin, and most other dogs he encounters bring him great joy. He falls asleep next to Odin every night. But, in the wild, he loves the lion. He loves the power and majestic traits exhibited by the lion and its roar.
Gabriel’s favorite outdoor activities include fishing, hiking, biking, and exploring the outdoors for artistic inspiration. At only 12 years old, Gabriel has begun customizing and selling hats inspired by the elements of nature. He loves the calm and comraderie found when fishing at a the neighborhood pond. And, his mind is cleared when biking to and from school. From is first days on Earth through today, Gabriel has been brought to a sense of peace when being outside.
