About
Hi, I’m Gabe.
Web designer, entrepreneur, philanthropist and veteran. I live in Belton, Texas, with my wife, and I build websites that work as hard as the people who own them.
The short version
Texan, veteran, builder.
I’m originally from Round Rock, Texas. I served in the U.S. Army from 2011 to 2017 as an avionics mechanic, including a tour in Afghanistan in 2012 during Operation Enduring Freedom. That service is something I’m proud of. It’s part of who I am.
I hold a degree in Computer Information Systems. What pulls me to the web is simple: it’s where most people meet a business first. A good local business deserves a site that’s fast, clear and looked after, not one that was launched once and left alone.
In 2026 I founded Mesquite Digital Co. in Belton to build those sites for small businesses in Central Texas and beyond. Websites built tough and cared for.

How I work
Four rules I don’t bend.
Style changes from project to project. These don’t.
Plain words.
Your customers shouldn’t need a glossary. I write and design so the next step is obvious to someone in a hurry on a phone.
Checked twice.
Every link, phone number and screen size gets tested before a site goes live. Then I check again.
Built to last.
Clean, hand-built code that loads fast and doesn’t fall apart when a trend changes.
I stay on.
Launch is where the relationship starts. I keep sites updated and running, and I answer when you call.
Giving back
Build something, then share it.
I call myself an entrepreneur and a philanthropist, and I mean both. Building a business matters to me. So does what you do with it.
One way I give back is Settle In Central Texas, a free, independent guide for soldiers, families and veterans arriving near Fort Hood. Towns, housing, VA basics, food, weekends and a move checklist, all in one calm place.
About this site
The sky is real code.
Drawn live
Every star, the galaxy band and the nebula are drawn in your browser as you watch, sharp up to 4K. There’s no stock footage and no video file.
The portal
Click a link and the page falls into a starry portal. You travel through a tunnel of stars and come out in a different part of the same sky.
Your cursor
On a mouse or trackpad, the pointer is a small star with a ring that bends the starlight behind it, like a tiny lens.
Motion is optional
Use Pause motion at the top of any page. If your device is set to reduce motion, the sky holds still and links go straight to the next page.

Let’s build something.
If you have a business that deserves a better website, I’d like to hear about it.
