Spotlight on Gabe Garcia | Senior Partner Relationship Coordinator

Favorite Food

Anything that doesn’t have liver.

Favorite Book

I stopped reading books after college in rebellion to the mandatory summer reading when I was a child. Why ruin my summer plans with trying to retain info that I would forget as soon as school started.

Jump from a plane or scuba dive with sharks?

Jump from a plane because it sounds much more exciting free falling in the air than eaten by JAWS.

If you had one super power, what would it be?

Being able to fly. At least I would save money from driving anywhere with the rising gas prices.

Favorite Childhood Memory

Meeting Brad Hall from SNL. His sister was my next door neighbor in the Richmond District of SF and she surprised me when he came to visit her. His now wife, Julia Louis-Dreyfus was with him as well but I totally ignored her.

What’s your favorite insect?

Caterpillars since they evolve into beautiful butterflies.

What name would you choose for your band?

Gagalicious, a Lady Gaga cover band.

What is the weirdest thing you have eaten?

A Filipino dish called Dinuguan which is a pork blood stew. You don’t want to know the actual ingredients.

If you could instantly be an expert in anything, what would it be?

I’d want to be an expert in trivia, so I can be on Jeopardy.

What do you want to do when you retire?

Live in Miami with close friends just like The Golden Girls.
