Gene’s genre-diverse original music has been heard on an international level and sung in different languages. His acoustic ability complements the numerous melodies he has composed over the last two decades.
In an age when the world is experiencing hardships of epic proportions, Geno’s acoustic folk style with inspiring lyrics bring comfort to hurting and healing hearts. His acoustic songwriting demands a cultivated palette to fully appreciate the burst of diverse flavors at play in his music. Although his style is acoustic based, the arrangements go much deeper, culling from ballad, folk, slapstick country, rock and contemporary.
Over the years he has been petitioned to write theme songs for causes and/or campaigns. His song “Heart To The Homeless” received recognition from President Reagan when Nancy Reagan held a homeless campaign.
Causes close to his heart are Romanian orphans and believers that have been persecuted for their faith. He draws from personal experiences from his international travels as well as aspects that effect our daily living; love, pain, life, death, and the lessons learned in between.
Gene has spent over 20 years with Hand of Help Ministries and over 20 years with the music group Remnant. Gene also founded CSMI a Christian Music Organization with close to 400 members desiring to honor,glorify, and bring the hope of Jesus to the world through song.
Gene and his wife Anne have 3 sons and reside in Southeastern Wisconsin
