On November 1, 2022, the FYRE BOD unanimously voted to bring Gabe Wilson onto the board and appoint him as the FYRE Treasurer. He will begin serving in January 2023.
Gabe Wilson has been a servant leader his entire life. Growing up in rural Colorado on a ranch he learned the meaning of responsibility, hard work, and serving. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps to become a Combat Engineer where he served the next twenty years and continued to volunteer numerous times to serve others in various charitable organizations including his church, Cub Scouts, and Boy Scouts.
His leadership skills were honed through three combat deployments to Iraq and Kuwait, Cuba, France, and Japan where he led Marine Corps operational elements. Gabe’s military awards include the Bronze Star Medal (with Combat ‘V’ for Valor), Purple Heart Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (with four gold stars in lieu of the fifth award), Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (with two gold stars in lieu of the third award), Combat Action Ribbon, Presidential Unit Citation-Navy, Navy Unit Commendation (with three bronze stars in lieu of the fourth award), and the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal (with one silver star and one bronze star in lieu of the sixth award).
After retiring from the Marine Corps with 20 years of service in 2015, Gabe transitioned into a position with Banamax USA as an Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Analyst supporting Citigroup Bank. Earning the Florida Community Association Manager (CAM) license, he started his own company, Neighborly Community Management where he manages multiple Home Owner Associations (HOA) in the Brandon, Valrico, Plant City, Ruskin, Chapel Chase, and Riverview, Florida areas.
Gabe married the former Ms. Courtney Renee Johnson in 2003. They have two children, Colby and Chloe. They are active in their children’s lives, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and with their church. He is a graduate of Ashford University with a BA majoring in Organizational Management and minoring in Business.
The FYRE is excited to have Gabe on-board and looks forward to serving with him.
