Get to Know Gabe

Originally from Bolivia, Gabe moved to Jupiter, Florida in September of 2019. He was playing tennis at the time, but when Covid came in March 0f 2020, all of the tennis academies closed. He had been introduced to pickleball by his grandfather shortly after. He started to play daily, and what was then just a hobby, became a true passion for the sport.
