Gena has been married to Andrew for 10 years. They have two children, Cademon and Juniper.
From 2009 - 2013, Andrew and Gena were missionaries in northern Mexico where they started a coffee shop ministry, El Búho (The Owl). The shop still serves the local and international population near Potrero Chico, a climbing hot spot outside of Monterrey.
During their time in Mexico, Gena began her graduate studies in international development through Eastern University. She graduated with her masters in the spring of 2014. After Mexico, she worked at a crisis center, wrote her first book, and did content creation for a web accessibility company that directs businesses and government agencies in making their websites more accessible to people with disabilities. She now works for The Chalmers Center as their instructional design specialist.
Gena has written for several Christian publications, and published her first book, A Smoldering Wick: Igniting Missions Work with Sustainable Practices in 2016. Her forthcoming book, Separated by the Border, unpacks the story of reuniting her Honduran foster daughter with her family after separation at the US border.
