Gene's Story

Life After THS, I attended ICC and worked full-time at R A Cullinan & Son, Inc. In 1980, I started writing computer programs for Cullinan and started doing other programming for various other customers. In 1982, my father and I started DPConsultants, Inc., and I was there until we sold the company in 2001 to Software Technology, Inc in Mobile, AL. I worked for STI until January of 2007, when they decided to close the Tremont Office. So in February of 2007, I began working for another K-12 software company who competes directly against STI. Now, as director of Business Development for School Information Systems, I am, once again, working with the school of Illinois. Teri (Gingerich)(Morton, IL) and I got married in 1982. After our first child was born, she was a homemaker until 2003. In December of 2003, we opened Tremont Fitness on the West side of Tremont. Now that things are running smoothly at the gym, she's back at home, looking for a job. Nick, born in 1985, lives in Chicago and just graducated from Columbia College with a major in Film Production and a minor in Photography. Since his sophmore year at THS, he has dreamed of producing movies. He has always dreamed of attending Columbia (the largest film school in the world) and moving to California to make it big! Ok Nick, the first part of your dream is in motion -- make us proud (so we can retire some day). Ryan, born in 1986, is in the US Air Force, and is stationed at a Special Operations base in Ft Walton Beach, FL. Before graduating from Tremont High, he played football and was active in Student Council, School Play, Band and Chorus. Both boys share my love for Classic Rock as well as the newer stuff. Meg (my baby), born in 1988, is in her junior year at the Ill...Expand for more
inois Art Institute in Shaumburg, IL. Meg works at Crate & Barrel and Ruehl and enjoys spending time with her friends. So far, no serious boyfriends and it better stay that way. If you know of anyone considering my daughter for a date, please let them know that I've already been in prison and I don't mind going back (just kidding about prison). We enjoy spending vacations on the Gulf of Mexico, and many weekends in downtown Chicago. In fact, it would be fair to say that Chicago is our second home. Although we lived in Morton for 5 years after getting married, we have lived in Tremont since 1987. What a great place to raise a family. I still enjoy running to keep in shape, and usually do at least one marathon each year. In November of 2006, I did the Ironman Triathlon that includes a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike, and a 26.2 mile run. Mike Herrin, my high school coach still runs with me often. He's like the Eveready Bunny -- .... still going. Teri and I were the General Chairmen of the Tremont Turkey Festival in 1998. Now, as an active member of Tremont Betterment Association, I am still very active in the TTF. In 2004, I retired from the Tremont Fire Department after 10 years of service. I loved it, but my business travel and other responsibilites kept me from to many training sessions. In 2007, I decided to come out of retirement and re-join the Tremont Fire Department. Five years ago, I was elected to the Tremont Park District Board. In the beginning, my goal was to build a new pool, but the voters turned down our referendums twice. We ended up raising $1.2m from a variety of sources and in June of 2008, we re-opened the pool. Everybody seems to love it so far. Now you know everything about me and my family.
