Gabe graduated from Indiana University in 1957 with a BA in Anatomy & Physiology and continued on to attend IU School of Medicine and receive his MD Degree. After completing his one-year rotating internship at Cook County Hospital in Chicago, IL, he came back to Indianapolis where he completed his Pediatric Residency and began his own, successful private practice.

He was also Medical Director of the Indianapolis Day Nursery and Medical Director of Kokomo Academy. In the early 2000’s he began work with Option Care and was the Primary Physician at an ambulatory infusion center. In 2008 he moved to Total Performance Medical Center where he worked the remainder of his career, retiring in 2019.
