Gene was born in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1931. At age 10 he and his family moved to Southern California and in 1948 the family moved north to Modesto where Gene graduated from Modesto High School in 1949. Gene began a career in banking that included 15 years as the founding president of County Bank of Merced.

           Gene tells about an experience that prompted a change in his lifestyle…and his life. “In 1990 at age 59, I went to Valley Heart Associates for a routine treadmill examination. The cardiologist looked up from the treadmill report and grimly stated, ‘You're a walking time bomb. You need to go to the hospital immediately.’ Three days later the heart surgeon sawed open my chest and stitched in bypasses to six of my favorite arteries.”

           Gene’s near heart attack experience kindled a passion for learning and sharing the secrets of how to avoid a heart attack and live a long and active life. In 1992 he took early retirement from banking, and with his wife Bernie opened the Vital Life Health and Wellness Center in Merced, California, which they operated until 2004. The exercise, health and wellness program they developed for people over age 50 was judged number one in California and 2nd in the nation.

           Millen is an honor graduate of the Pacific Coast Banking School and has been certified as a Physical Fitness Specialist and Medical Exercise Specialist.

           Gene has taught young adult Sunday school classes and bible studies for many years. They now live in Livingston, Ca. and his hobbies include gardening and adding new information to heart and brain health websites which he has developed. They are www.vitalheart.info and www.brainbequick.com .

           Gene and his wife Bernie celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary in 2010 and have five children and 14 grandchildren. Gene said, “Our family is a top priority with us and we use any excuse to get together to laugh, socialize, pig out and play games. 

           “Our Russian granddaughter Natalie, who was adopted from Siberia, is a special joy. Although Natalie lives in Liberty Hills, Texas we have the great pleasure of seeing, talking and laughing with her nearly every day…due to the  great new technology of VideoPhones. God has truly blessed our lives.”

           Gene and Bernie’s latest passion is teaching others how to obtain financial independence and time freedom. Gene says,

“If the end of the month comes before the money runs out…there’s a much better way that we’ll tell you about.” For more information click here.
