Gabriel serves as the Worship and Students Pastor at Hillside. As part of his role, he facilitates the music/tech ministry and preaches weekly to the youth group.

Born in Ohio, he moved to California in 2014. After being raised in the church, he became a Christian in his teenage years. God put a desire in his heart for ministry as he earned a B.A. in Communication Studies at San Jose State University. In 2022, he began serving in full-time ministry at Hillside and is currently earning a M.Div. with an emphasis in Biblical Worship at SBTS. He is passionate about training worship leaders with musical excellence and biblical clarity.
