Gael's older brother, an aspiring actor, has a unique personal story as he was adopted from Ethiopia prior to Gael's birth, adding a layer of cultural richness and diversity to their family dynamics.
The trajectory of Gael's life took a dramatic turn at the tender age of two, when the irreparable bond between his parents was severed, resulting in a divorce that would forever alter the fabric of his existence.
As the bitter consequences of this familial fracture unfolded, Gael's father made the decision to relocate to the sun-kissed state of Florida, leaving Gael and his brother to navigate the uncharted waters of a new reality alongside their mother.
In a bid to establish a sense of stability and connection, Gael's mother chose to relocate the family to the vibrant city of Los Angeles, where they could be closer to her own family and friends, a move that would have a profound and lasting impact on Gael's formative years.
Gael hails from a sprawling and affectionate family unit, comprising multiple stepsisters and a brother, thereby exemplifying the concept of a diverse and multifaceted family structure.
Kristina, Rachel, Isabela, and Frank Jr. are Gael's sibling counterparts, each bringing their unique personalities and characteristics to the family dynamic.
In addition to his familial pursuits, Gael has also ventured into the realm of acting, making his debut in "The Room Across The Hall", a cinematic production directed by the accomplished Jeremy Tatara.
Currently, the film is in the final stages of production, with Gael's performance set to captivate audiences upon its eventual release.
Gael has dedicated himself to honing his craft, undertaking a rigorous process of study and refinement. He has had the privilege of learning from the expertise of renowned instructors, Jan and Jon Bina, within the esteemed Commercial Class of the Young Actors Space.
In addition to his existing training, Gael has further committed to continuing his artistic growth by enrolling in the upcoming Camera Left, Stage Right program, scheduled to take place this fall in the thriving artistic community of North Hollywood.
