Aransas Paschal and Ingleside Ingrid

Gene Saegert

Gene is a retired business owner who didn't write his first word until age 67 — and has been making up for lost time ever since. A coastal transplant living in Ingleside, he spent decades seeing the humor in everyday life that others somehow missed. He's written satire and comic strips for outlets across the Coastal Bend, and now brings his signature wit to The Rockport Pirate. His goal is simple: put a smile on your face. If he manages that, he's happy. Feedback always welcome.
