Gene is an author with 16 books, an award-winning screenwriter, a father, a former electrical engineer, a past Oprah Show guest author, a past Pulitzer nominee, a singer-songwriter, a film producer/director, an inventor, and a poet. His diverse background and achievements are a testament to his versatility and creativity. I Never Played Catch With My Father, his first published novel, is based on a true story—his own. Gene says it was his great fortune to be born at the right address— the home of his parents. He insists his love of writing and learning was sparked by his mother, who taught him to read when he was barely four, and his father, who taught him, by his daily life examples, how to apply what he learned. Gene was fascinated, captured by the freedom reading afforded. What was more, he read and was inspired to put his own words to paper. He has always enjoyed both technical and literary pursuits. He wrote his first novel at 9. (90 pages longhand.) At age 12, he was working with a local electrician, wiring new homes and retrofitting older homes. After high school, with a full scholarship, he headed to college. His quest for knowledge continues.
