Gene Pallas, Pole Vault Coach


I am a native Californian.  Born, raised and lived all my life in the Bay Area.  Currently, I live in Foster City.

I grew up in San Bruno and graduated from Capuchino High School (Sorry Bearcats!).  At Cap, I played football, wrestled, ran track, and pole-vault, of course.  I attended college at U.C. Berkeley where I graduated with a degree in computer science.  

As for my professional experience, I was employed  for 14 years at Applied Biosystems in instrument development developing instrumentation that helped sequence the human genome.  Flying is one of my passions, and I have my private pilots license and fly whenever possible (flying through the air - probably why I like pole vaulting so much). 

Over the last 10 years in Foster City, I have coached AYSO Soccer, Little League, and I am currently Scout Master of Boy Scout Troop 175.  I love working with youths and believe that with self-confidence and encouragement, they can achieve almost anything while still remaining good human beings.  This is my second year with the Bearcats Track Team, and I am truly enjoying every minute working with this great group of kids.
