Gene Cheeseman is an expert contractor best know as the cast of reality TV show Gold Rush. He has worked under two different bosses in Gold Mining. Though this star’s great-great-grandfather was a gold miner in Alaska in the late 1800s, Gene came into gold mining through the hard work. He established as an expert contractor in roads construction and building before venturing into mining.
He was introduced as Parker Schnabel’s foreman in Gold Rush Alaska in the fourth season. Later he joined Tony Beets mining crew in Eureka Creek Claim, Alaska. After significant time in Gold mining, his recent absence in Gold Rush has fans concerned. So where is Gene Cheeseman, What happened? Is it anything to do with death?
What happened to Gene Cheeseman?
The work Gene put on is a thing of admiration he is the man who sees the bigger picture than to achieve success for a short while. Gene appeared in few episodes of Gold Rush with Tony Beets and his crew in 2017. However, he was absent for the most of the seventh season. Again in 2018, Gene has not appeared in Gold Rush. There is no official explanation about Gene not being in the show one thing that we can tell; he is content with his family and two kids. Those concerned about his well being, Gene is in good shape as a normal healthy person.

He had some impressive Gold mining memory with Parker Schnabel who regarded him an MVP employee. Gene worked with Parker as a foreman from 2013 to 2016. He was the heart of everything from moving dirt, fixing things, to even raising the productivity of people around him. After working for years, he fell out with Parker and left the crew. Gene Cheeseman left due to disregard of his young boss, Parker.

Like we said before, Gene is an impressive worker, and he would blindly make any gold mining team better. No wonder Tony Beats came calling. He joined Tony as skipper in Gold Rush seventh season in 2017. It would be a treat to see Gene back in the show, right?

I want to work with Gene Cheeseman. He’s a real badass. Hard those types these days. I think he would like my work ethic Love to work!!!!
Just wanted to say hi and that you are missed on Gold Rush. You are such a great mechanic. I think you should make up with Parker and go help him this season. Surprise him. He really needs a good mechanic. I think he would be very grateful to you for offering your help. Even for a short period of time. He is trying very hard to be a better person and treat his help with a mature approach most of the time. Think on it…. From Diane ✌️♥️
Is Gene related to top alcohol funny car race Chucky Cheeseman. Big resemblance.
Thanks
I’m just glad to see Gene Cheeseman back. He was always my favorite on the show. I wouldn’t even try to put into words what makes Gene a super hero because anything i could think of to say to try to do justice for his part on the show I’m afraid i would fall too short to give him the praise and recognition he deserves. Gene you are truly an amazing man. Regards, Rob H.
