Gene began his Zen practice at the Boulder Zen Center in the Rinzai Tradition with Gento Richard Barsky.  In response to the Koan, "How does the Buddha manifest the ringing of the bell and the singing of the bird?" he founded the Bird and Bell Meditation Group at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Cheyenne.  Gene received Lay Ordination from Jodo Cliff Clusin at Bird and Bell on February 10, 2018.  He is a member of Bird and Bell, Prairie Mountain Zen Center and Red Cedar Zen Center.
