Gene currently serves as the Director of Wrestling at "Athletes in Action", a Christian-based sports organization. In 2014, he endorsed the book "Faith and Wrestling: How the Role of a Wrestler Mirrors the Christian Life" by author Michael Fessler. Gene's endorsement reads, "My belief has always been that wrestling is a microcosm of life. Most of the things that we are going to experience in life are going to be experienced in a wrestling career. Michael does an excellent job in paralleling the relationship between faith and wrestling. His book expresses the importance of developing the total athlete—spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially. I look forward to the day when people (including wrestlers) from 'every nation, tribe, people and language' will gather to worship our God. (Revelation 7:9, 11)."
