He spent several seasons there before he was recruited by Mead Metcalf To be the chef at the Crystal Palace. Gene remained there for approximately eight years before moving to Mesa, Colorado in 1976.

He and Becky moved to an old hundred acre ranch near Powderhorn ski area. They also bought an old building fixed it up and turned it down to a restaurant.
