Meet Gabe–the UPS driver and friend of Hello Adorn that takes your jewelry on the first leg of the shipping journey. He doesn’t work for HA, but he does a LOT of WORK for Hello Adorn. We had him on the pod this week to get the real scoop on working at UPS, life in Eau Claire, and Buddhist meditation…just to name a few nuggets. Fueled by iced coffee, wearing a Thrasher Godzilla shirt, and full of good conversation, Gabe’s interview did not disappoint. Listen to his whole ep when you have a moment, but for now–here are some high-level cliff notes (10 things we’ve learned about Gabe) to keep you entertained!
He made a playlist-just for YOU.
He grows a massive garden.
Some of his favorite produce includes tomatoes and garlic (new this year!).
See him if you need ANY amount of kale.
He has two kids, Burley and Erielle.
Burley is named after Burley Coulter from Wendell Berry's novels and Erielle is a combination of Gabe and his wife’s name. NEAT!

He’s been to an Olivia Rodrigo concert.
Not his FIRST choice when it comes to concert-going, but his daughter was sure thrilled.
Reggae is the first thing he turns on in the morning.
And definitely notttt Olivia Rodrigo. Two of his favorites are Bob Marley and Beres Hammond.
