When Gene and his lovely wife, Shelley aren't cheering Mallory on at a school event or bouncing Maverick on their knees, you're likely to find them scuba diving off the coast of Grand Cayman island - their favorite getaway.
We caught up with Gene between business trips to San Antonio and Chicago...
What did you have for dinner last night?
Mexican food from Mi Cocina.
What's on your DVR?
Law & Order.
Crunchy or Smooth? Maryanne or Ginger? Elvis or The Beatles? Dog or Cat?
Smooth peanut butter - definitely. The rest are even easier - Maryanne from Gilligan's Island and everybody knows Elvis is still the KING. Dog or Cat? Neither. I've got a saltwater aquarium and I prefer watching the fish.
Favorite Soft Drink and Adult Beverage.
Diet Dr Pepper for the soft drink. Hendricks & Tonic after 5 p.m.
Lowe's or Home Depot?
I was a hardcore Home Depot guy - but I'm starting to like Lowe's better.
Conan, Letterman, Leno, Fallon or Ferguson?
I'm a Letterman guy.
Where Are You Traveling Next?
Chicago.
Favorite Movie?
True Grit - the original version with John Wayne.
The One Electronic Gadget You Can't Live Without?
My iPhone - won't go anywhere without it. Favorite App is Words with Friends.
Favorite Vacation?
Diving in Grand Cayman or watching the sunset from the deck at Casanova restaurant on Seven Mile Beach.
