Business to Business Alchemist
As a partner in ABA since 1999, Gene crafts and leads Business to Business networking and business development groups. Picture the bustling streets of metro NYC—the heartbeat of commerce.

From Sociology to Submarines
Gene’s skill in working with people isn’t happenstance. His academic journey through sociology and social psychology (thanks, Bard College!) led to a decade of grassroots community organizing and development. But that’s not all. Gene spent a decade with the U.S. Navy, overhauling nuclear submarines. And while wrenches turned, he also bridged gaps as chief steward for the Iron Workers’ trade union—a true mediator between labor and management.

Retail, Restaurants, and Landscapes
Gene’s entrepreneurial spirit knows no bounds. He owned retail and wholesale imprinted sportswear businesses, managed fine Italian dining restaurants, and even tended to landscapes. Whether measuring biomass or orchestrating business deals, Gene’s thread remains consistent: pooling people together for collective improvement.

Boosting Careers, One Connection at a Time
Gene’s sweet spot? Working with those just starting their careers—the ones excited about their future. A BOOST, if you will. And when he’s not networking, you’ll find him immersed in history, biking, hiking, lifting weights, and devouring books.
