My name is Gene Pennington. My wife, Judy, and I have 3 sons and 6 grandchildren.

I have an AS Degree in Administration of Justice from Marin Community College and a BS Degree in Administration of Justice from Golden Gate University.

I am a retired Captain from the San Rafael Police Department. I retired in 1999 after serving 32 years.

I started my own consulting business in 1999 and offer computer services to small business owners and to individuals.

I am very involved in genealogy research and belong to a number of genealogical associations.

I joined the Pennington Research Association in 1990. I became the Research Director in 1998 and have served in that capacity since then and have served as Chairman of the Board for a number of years. I have been very fortunate to work with a visionary group of volunteers who have helped shape the future of the Pennington Research Association.

I give presentations and classes throughout the year on a wide variety of subjects concerning computers and genealogy.

I used to laugh when I heard retirees say, “I don’t know how I ever found time to work before I retired” but since my retirement I know exactly what they mean! Between remodeling our home, an excursion now and then, giving presentations, working on genealogy and computers, I stay very busy.
