Even if gang life chooses you, you can still politely decline. That’s the case with Gabe Nolasco. Raised in the Bay Area California from two immigrant parents, Gabe decided quickly that, rather than robbing people and delving into the gang culture that befell his neighbors, he would rather use his overflowing charm, crafted wit, and infectious sense of humor to entertain audiences from all over the world. Not bad for a kid from the Bay.
