Biography

Fowler was born in Denver, Colorado. When his mother remarried during his youth, he took his stepfather's name to become Gene Fowler. Fowler's career had a false start in taxidermy, which he later claimed gave him a permanent distaste for red meat. After a year at the University of Colorado, he took a job with The Denver Post.[1] His assignments included an interview with the frontiersman and Wild West Show promoter Buff Gene Fowler - IMDb NIWY
