Childhood photo foreshadows 51ΑΤΖζ architecture grad’s future

A 4-year-old with two brooms and a toy car had an idea: He’d tie the brooms to the back of the battery-powered Jeep and clean the streets. It was a foreshadowing of what Gabriel Yeager wanted to do with his life: downtown management.

That dream led Yeager to 51ΑΤΖζ’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning. While in school, he landed an internship at a downtown Milwaukee business improvement district. And that led to a job offer there before graduation.

β€œI hope I make my parents proud,” Yeager said. β€œI moved to the city of Milwaukee from Minnesota in 2014, have put down roots here, have made friends here, and really the opportunity to continue working in this world-class city is an absolute dream come true. I’m proud to be part of the story.”
