Gene’s life experiences began on a small farm (yeah, a long time ago…) in the fertile Platte River valley of central Nebraska. His wanderings have taken him through college, the military, two major corporations and into the field of instruction in both the private and public sector. For the past twenty-five plus years, he has devoted much of his time to the study and understanding of the nature (and peculiarities) of mankind and its place and purpose in the universe.
In 2002, Gene established NuPathz.com ( http://www.nupathz.com/ ) for the primary purpose of helping people enrich their lives simply by modifying their thought processes. The organization encourages personal growth through a better understanding of those factors that have contributed to each individual’s present beliefs and life style, and promotes positive questioning of the “truths” that provide the basis for each of our actions.
The NuPathz approach to the self-help process could be considered somewhat unique in that it offers insights into all three of the main influences in our lives – our genetic and environmental influences, our spiritual or religious beliefs and our innate animal instincts for survival and procreation. Because Gene feels strongly that many of us tend to take our lives and the self improvement process far too seriously, he makes liberal use of humor not only in his articles and books but also throughout the NuPathz site. As a result, one can find features ranging from helpful suggestions to combat guilt or a tendency to become angry to a large collection of humorous quotes and bumper stickers as part of an even larger collection of “odds and ends” gleaned from Gene’s weblog.
When once asked about his personal motivations for creating the NuPathz.com web site, Gene replied, “You know, I was fortunate several years ago, to have enough curiosity to start researching to see if I could find out if there wasn’t something I could do to make some changes in my life – to help make things better for myself and my family. With the help of some great authors and other special people in my life, I was finally able to turn my old ship around and start sailing in a better direction. All I’m trying to do now is pass along some of the things I’ve learned. This probably sounds corny as all heck, but I figure if I can make just one person’s life a little easier and a little more fun then I’ve done my job. I’ve accomplished probably one of the main things I was put on this earth to do. You can’t ask for any more than that.”
Gene is presently enjoying a semi-retired lifestyle with his bride, Loy, two dogs, five cats and one obnoxious African Grey parrot in the Ozarks of southern Missouri.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Gene Simmons
As a person thinketh, so are they. – James Allen
There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. - Douglas Adams
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. – Herm Albright
No matter where you go… there you are. – Buckaroo Banzai
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. - The Buddha
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reasons for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. - Albert Einstein
Live every day as though it is your last. Who knows? It might be! – Alexander King
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. – Abraham Lincoln
Don’t take life so serious, son, it ain’t nohow permanent. – Pogo (Walt Kelly)
Our job is to leave the world a little better than we found it. Not the same… not worse… better.
