Gene Johns is a retired United States Air Force Master Sergeant, former State of Florida employee, author, and former competitive bowler.
Through Gene-ology, he explores ideas, questions assumptions, and shares commentary shaped by decades of life experience, military service, competitive bowling, critical thinking, and long miles on the open road.
Gene is conservative in matters concerning economics, the military, law enforcement, and individual responsibility. He leans Libertarian on social issues and is agnostic in matters of religion. Gene approaches issues from a perspective that does not always fit neatly into modern categories.
Before retirement, he enjoyed writing, songwriting, and poetry. He has written several books covering a variety of subjects. As an independent thinker and writer, his conversational style blends personal observations, experiences, and critical thinking into books, commentary, songwriting, and poetry—with a willingness to say what he believes, even when it runs against conventional expectations.
After retiring from full-time work, Gene devoted more time to blogging, writing, promoting real country music, reflection, travel, and exploring the subjects that have long captured his attention—politics, patriotism, country music, life experiences, weather, and the everyday events that shape the world around us.
In addition to Gene-ology, he is also the founder of Essie Country, a platform dedicated to promoting “real country music” in an era where traditional sounds are often overlooked by Nashville and the country music industry.
Gene has pursued a variety of interests and accomplishments throughout his life. He has survived two white-water rafting adventures, experienced the thrill of parasailing in Key West, and enjoyed extensive travel throughout the United States. His strong competitive nature led him to two state bowling championships: the 1982 Georgia State Scratch All-Events Championship and the 1983 West Virginia State Scratch Doubles Championship, won with Gary Mills.
Gene lives in Central Florida and continues to write independently with the belief that thoughtful commentary should challenge people to think—even when they disagree.
