Meet the Instructors
Gabriel
Gabriel founded a design and marketing firm in 1996 where he continues to work to this day. He is passionate about his work and delights in teaching the trade to his students.
He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Multimedia Design and has won awards in both graphic and interactive web design which he jokes, "I carry with me at all times."
"Gabriel was awesome! He was very hands on and patient. He showed us everything a beginner would need to know to work with HTML and building a website from scratch. While it was a ton of information, it was very informative and we touched on what he was teaching us constantly throughout the course. He brought real world examples to what we were learning. Not only was he a good instructor, but he had magic...literally!! He did a couple tricks and amazed us all! They should call him The Fabulous Gabe"
Adam Papinchock - Alliant Credit Union
"Gabriel covered a lot of material in the two days of training. He provided excellent examples each step of the way; effectively guiding us through the steps. I came into this class thinking the subject matter was something I could never grasp. I am leaving with a sound understanding of what HTML is and how,combined with CSS, I am able to design for the web."
Aimee Deegan - Panduit
"Gabriel is definitely experienced and patient enough to lead a course of this nature where the students' level of experience ranged from absolute beginner to advanced. He leads his classes with humor and practical examples that demonstrate his eagerness and where his enthusiasm for the subject matter shows through."

HTML Training Testimonial
"Rick did a great job with the content of the class, and helped each student along individually if needed. I feel that he is very well versed in the material he was presenting, and was available at all times for further discussion. I am leaving the class with a good concept of HTML and CSS, and will be able to build upon this experience. I would definitely take another class with him."
