Composition is what interests me, it is here where process and elegant problem solving take place. Below is a breakdown of a few of my obsessions ( how obsessed I am ).
Designer. Developer. Dog Lover
Gabriel Grover
I was born on a little island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Albeit a little premature, I would eventually be ready to take my first steps on a journey across the world.
Guam will always be home, but I have lived in many places. As a kid I spent a good deal of my childhood moving across the United States. My father had him a nomadic spirit, which meant we often lived out of boxes. We were also fortunate to have relatives littered about California, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida, so we always had a place to call homebase. We eventually moved back to Guam where I finished highschool and immediately got back on a plane.
The next decade following that flight would be filled with school and training paid for by the United States Marine Corps in return for my service and my dedication. Ironically, my occupation as an aircrewman would mean even more international travel. My last pax flight was a nonstop to San Diego and orientation for fall semester of design school. Since then, my heart has been captivated by sunsets over open ocean and I have never left California.
A Few Fun Facts
Here’s a collection of tidbits about me that you’ll have to work for. Give ’em a hover!
Dante's Inferno
Fun Fact
The first and only cat I have ever owned was a black cat name Dante. Dante was mostly a timid cat, but tissue rolls and scratch pads would tremble in his presence.
Champion
Fun Fact
I once won a local FFA Halo Tournament back in 1999. It was a huge LAN party setup back when online gaming was still just an idea.
To The Skies!
Fun Fact
I once was a navigator on a C-130 Military Cargo Plane. The most memorable place I have been to is a little island off of the Hawaii coast called Wake. I remember chocking the plane and riding a bike to my sleeping quarters.
Mestiso
Fun Fact
Mestiso, is a colloquial term from Chamorro culture that describes a person of “mixed blood”. I happen to be a pretty scattered mix of Pacific Islander, Irish, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Night Shift
Fun Fact
My first job was working the night shift as a sandwich maker at Quiznos. Believe me when I say food service is one of the hardest jobs out there, but you’ll never go hungry.
Not FlashFun Fact
Running has always been a part of life in some way. My fastest 3 mile time is 17:21. This isn’t much of anything to be proud of, but I never said I was The Flash.
