About
Hi, I'm Gabe.
Army avionics mechanic turned web builder, with a degree in Computer Information Systems. Based in Belton, Texas, and the one person behind Mesquite Digital Co.
Our mission
Mesquite Digital Co. helps small businesses reach as far as they're able to grow, with websites built carefully, checked twice and kept running for years.
I have a degree in Computer Information Systems, and from 2011 to 2017 I served in the U.S. Army as an avionics mechanic, including a 2012 deployment to Afghanistan with Operation Enduring Freedom. The degree gave me the technical grounding. The Army job was mostly wiring, troubleshooting and working down a checklist until a system worked every single time. You don't guess, and you don't call it done until it's tested.
In that line of work, small mistakes matter, so everything gets checked twice. That habit stuck. I still sweat the little things, like a phone number that's one digit off or a link that goes nowhere, because those are the things that cost a business a customer.
I bring the same habits to websites. A good small business website isn't flashy. It loads fast, works on a phone, gives people the facts they came for and keeps working long after launch.
I first did this for my own project, Settle In Central Texas, a free guide for military families moving to Fort Hood. Building it showed me how much a clear, well-kept website helps the people using it.
Mesquite Digital Co. is how I do that for small businesses. Mesquite trees grow all over Central Texas. They're tough, they get through long dry summers and they stay put. That's what I want your website to be.
A good small business website isn't flashy. It loads fast, works on a phone and keeps working.
If you run a small business, whether it's down the road or across the country, I'd be glad to hear about it.
