He has a keen sensibility for comedy found in cultural differences, all the while recognizing that "Yes, there are differences, but in God's eyes we are equally loved."

The son of migrant workers, Gilbert was born in Parma, Idaho. He spent his childhood moving from city to city with his parents working in the fields, until his family settled in Pacoima, California. There, he became caught up in the world of gang violence. After years of "doing the wrong things," Gilbert decided to redirect his life in a positive way. By finding humor in his gang experiences, he has taken his unique perspective on life to audiences around the country. Gilbert now provides a positive role model for kids caught in inner-city violence. He uses his comedy to reach out and educate teens about life's different options.
