A native of Cudahy, Wisconsin, Gene comes to First Congregational UCC after earning college degrees in public information, communications, and business administration, and following twenty years in the U.S. Air Force. In the Air Force, he worked primarily in public affairs and chapel management and lived in Europe, Southeast Asia, Alaska, and numerous locations in the "lower 48." Since retiring from military service in 1987 as an Executive Officer, he has held a variety of finance and business-services positions in corporate, church, government, and educational settings in Alabama and northeastern Wisconsin, including the Tri-Parish Faith Formation Program in northern Calumet County, the New Holstein School District, and Marian College in Fond du Lac. He is a certified, licensed substitute teacher in Wisconsin and also has operated a consulting firm, ChurchKey Services, that provided financial and other administrative services to congregations throughout the state.

As Church Administrator for our congregation, a position he assumed in April 2007, his primary responsibilities include the church finances, personnel issues, information technology (IT), and facility maintenance operations.

Gene's hobbies include gardening and writing. He and his wife, Margaret, have three grown sons and seven grandchildren. The Sinners reside near Stockbridge, Wisconsin, in Calumet County.
