With that being said while attending high school Gene Dot Com was responsible for giving the school all of the highlights of the day as the morning announcer. The staff was so moved by Gene’s ability to entertain the students and his ability to speak that the principal Jimmy Johnson, created a Television Production class to develop other students craft in this area.
After graduation Gene went to college but also entered into fatherhood. The birth of Genes only son Desmond, caused him to enter into the work force sooner than he had planned. After working a few odd jobs Gene landed a job with Airborne Express. Gene began to realize he was not using his potential to his fullest and that there was something bigger out there for him. God arranged it for Gene to receive the route at Airborne Express that would include the top local radio station 92.7 The Beat where he met the morning show producer “Chill Will” who gave him the name “Gene Dot Com” and an opportunity to do what he did so many years earlier at Raines High School; entertain the people with the highlights of the day. For several years he served the city well by giving the best punch lines, sports commentary, and the best Hip Hop and R & B.
