Author Information

Gabriel Pedernera is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and registered nurse who spent more than three decades in military and clinical service. The son of Ar-gentine immigrants, he was raised in Brooklyn during the 1970s inside the working world of a family owned dry cleaning shop, where discipline, endurance, and re-sponsibility were learned through observation rather than instruction. After a restless adolescence, he entered the U.S. Army in 1980, serving first as an enlisted combat medic and later as an officer in the Army Nurse Corps. His career included assignments in Germany during the Cold War, multiple mobilizations, and leadership roles in military and civilian medicine as well as veteran care. He also worked for 10 years in the VA healthcare system while continuing his service in the Army Reserve The Perfect Immigrants is his first book. It was written not as a memoir, but as an act of recognition-an effort to name the unseen labor and quiet costs carried by his parents, Mario and Norma Pedernera, and to make that history visible for the generations that stand on it. He lives in New York's Hudson Valley and is the father of two.
